On World Brain Day we ask: How do you study this complex organ? At ARMI, the Saurat Group grows sophisticated “brains in a dish” from human stem cells, helping researchers investigate brain ageing, Alzheimer's disease and approaches to neural repair.

At our Strategy 2030 launch, Victoria's Lead Scientist said co-location shortens the distance from lab to patient. ARMI already has three spinout companies and one product in development. The co-location integral to ARMI's strategy will see us develop more of both: armi.org.au/strategy-2030
