The National Heart and Lung Institute (NHLI) is one of the world's leading centres for cardiovascular and respiratory research, education and innovation. Our researchers, clinicians and educators work together to improve heart, lung and vascular health through discovery, translation and clinical impact. Our mission is to discover, educate and innovate to improve global heart and lung health.

Our work and structure

Heart, lung and vascular diseases are among the most significant health challenges facing societies worldwide. At NHLI, we bring together expertise across basic science, clinical research, population health and education to advance understanding of disease and develop new approaches to prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

Our research is organised into four sections spanning cardiovascular and respiratory science. These are supported by our Education and People and Culture activities, which run throughout the Institute.
