As of this week, New South Wales claims that it has
the largest and most up-to-date medical research centre in the southern
hemisphere. The claim follows the opening last Monday of a new $46

Garvan carries out research into breast cancer and prostate cancer, diabetes and
obesity, osteoporosis and other bone disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, and mental
illness.
