The Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences will commence a series of activities in the lead-up to the inauguration of the Biomedical Research Institute (BMRI). The BMRI is a fully integrated, future-focused and superbly organised research complex which matches and in several ways, exceeds the best the world has to offer; and is dedicated to understanding the genetic and bio-molecular basis of disease with a decidedly African focus.

The construction of the BMRI commenced with a sod-turning in 2019 and in the years since, catapulted our faculty onto the world stage by showcasing research that is on par with the most advanced and sophisticated biomedical research in the world.
As a valued member of the Tygerberg Campus community, you are invited to participate in and share your views on all the exciting activities planned for the inauguration of the BMRI under the theme “Improving lives with breakthrough science”.
