The partnership aims to support and foster closer ties between researchers, leading to accelerated discoveries. It specifically links the teams at MCRI in Melbourne with those at the Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco.

Among their initiatives is the Decoding Broken Hearts program to treat the underlying causes of congenital heart disease. Researchers are combining MCRI’s advanced stem cell technologies and Gladstone's AI capabilities to help stop childhood heart disease from progressing.
