Who we are

We are a team of experienced research scientists, dietitians, medical doctors, registered nurses and psychologists.

The CSIRO Clinical Research team

Using the latest technology and equipment for health research and health diagnostics, we lead scientific studies to benefit communities and provide recommendations to government agencies and companies worldwide.

We have:

  • 35+ years' clinic trial unit experience
  • multidisciplinary teams
  • ICH-GCP accredited staff
  • a 10,000+ research participant database.

What we do

We can service the research needs of food, beverage, ingredient, and supplement businesses, from discovery and development to scientific validation of market-ready foods, supplements and ingredients.

Scientific findings from our research are often published in international journals and, where we can, we aim to provide tangible outcomes and programs for people to use in the community.
