In October 2008 the Centre for Immunology and the Clinical Trials Unit from St Vincent’s Hospital formed the St Vincent’s Centre for Applied Medical Research or AMR. The AMR is a centre of both St Vincent’s Hospital and the University of New South Wales. The AMR together with the Kirby Institute University of New South Wales, the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, and the Garvan Institute of Medical research form the St Vincent's Research Precinct or 'Darlinghurst Hub'
