The Charles Perkins Centre is a large multidisciplinary initiative committed to easing the burden of chronic disease. Our biologically inspired complex systems approach brings together leading researchers and practitioners from across the disciplines in unexpected research collaborations to find new solutions to combat chronic diseases.

We are reconceiving the systems of health through our revolutionary approach to easing the burden of chronic diseases – obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and their related conditions – through innovative research collaborations and partnerships.
