Graduate research in the Baker Department of Cardiovascular Research, Translation and Implementation
Our graduate researchers learn from world class experts in world class facilities.
Our students work on projects alongside researchers, in scientific laboratories or research units that are closely connected with clinical facilities and focus on the translation of findings into improved health outcomes.
They are well supported and recognised by dedicated awards and funding opportunities overseen by the Research Training and Education Committee, all designed to support and enhance the learning experience.

Our student experience
Our graduate researchers have the opportunity to be part of new scientific discoveries and developments in medical care – from benchtop to bedside – ultimately helping Australians to live healthier for longer.
We promote the overall student experience through our student committee, dedicated awards and funding opportunities. Social gatherings, a retreat and professional development activities are also offered and enjoyed by our student community.
Our state-of-the-art facilities, co-located with relevant clinical services, allow graduate researchers to access innovative technology, large datasets and new methodologies to make the next big medical breakthrough.
Graduate researchers are part of La Trobe’s Graduate Research School, which nurtures a vibrant research community and upskills researchers through the Research Education and Development (RED) team. The RED team run workshops on topics from preparing literature reviews through to data manipulation and visualisation; and run initiatives including Shut Up and Write! and 3-Minute Thesis.
