Perth Blood Institute

The Perth Blood Institute (PBI) is a nonprofit medical research organisation based in Western Australia dedicated to the study and treatment of blood disorders. Established to advance the understanding, prevention, and cure of a wide range of hematological conditions, PBI conducts cutting-edge medical research and facilitates accessible clinical trials aimed at improving patient outcomes.

Mission and Focus

PBI’s mission centers on preventing, treating, and ultimately curing blood disorders. The institute specializes in a spectrum of blood-related diseases including haemophilia, deep vein thrombosis, leukaemia, multiple myeloma, and lymphoma. Their research encompasses the causes, diagnostic methods, and therapeutic approaches for these diseases[1][2].

Research and Clinical Trials

The institute actively conducts both pre-clinical and clinical research, with a strong emphasis on translational studies to bring novel therapies from the laboratory to the clinic. PBI’s clinical trials unit manages numerous Phase I-IV trials, providing patients in Western Australia with opportunities to access innovative treatments that might not otherwise be available in the region[1][5].

PBI is partnered with haematology centers across the Asia-Pacific region, enhancing collaborative research and broadening the impact of their clinical efforts. The organisation also maintains a biobank of samples to support translational research, facilitating the study of disease mechanisms and treatment responses[1].

Facilities and Collaborations

Operating from its head office in West Perth, with satellite locations in Nedlands and the Midlands, PBI offers comprehensive patient care and clinical trial services. The institute’s research capacity is augmented through its association with Murdoch University via the WA Centre of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, strengthening its pre-clinical research capabilities[1][5].

Community and Awareness Initiatives

PBI is actively engaged in raising awareness about blood cancers and other hematological conditions. It participates in events such as Blood Cancer Awareness Month and World Lymphoma Awareness Day, providing both medical and emotional support resources for patients and families affected by such diseases[1].

Recognition

The Perth Blood Institute is recognised both nationally and internationally for excellence in patient care and medical research in the field of blood disorders. Its work contributes significantly to the global understanding and treatment of these complex diseases[3].
