Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute
Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute is the nation’s premier health and medical research institute tackling the deadly trio of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Our work extends from the laboratory to wide-scale community studies.
Baker IDI fills a void in health and medical research by allowing traditionally disparate groups to work together and collaborate under one umbrella and one organisational culture.
Joining forces to prevent heart disease and diabetes
Baker IDI was create in 2008 after the merger of the Baker Heart research Institute and the International Diabetes Institute (IDI) the establishment of our new institute is an important milestone for medical research and patient care both Australia-wide and internationally.Baker IDI combines the formidable strength of Baker’s research into cardiovascular disease and diabetic complications with the outstanding diabetes research, education and patient care of IDI.Patient care is focused on equipping people with diabetes with the skills they need to slow down – and where possible halt – the progression of their disease before the appearance of life-threatening complications.
We do this with our staff of specially-trained nurse educators and other health professionals who understand the importance of a holistic approach to self-management of the disease. Our staff and clinics offer care, support and education in use of latest developments in diabetes therapies.
