Strap on your running / walking shoes and join leaders from IMB in raising vital funds for cardiovascular research at the Bridge to Brisbane on Sunday, October 15.

Professor Ian Henderson, Professor John Fraser, Dr Emma Gordon, Associate Professor Nathan Palpant and Dr Sonia Shah would love your company at this fun run / walk.
Funds raised will help IMB researchers tackle
cardiovascular disease through multiple, innovative approaches from genes to cells to tissues, from models to clinical care – all to increase scientific knowledge about the heart’s biology and develop the next generation of cardiovascular medicines.

Heart attack is the #1 killer of Australians.
