CAMRA - the Coalition for the Advancement of Medical Research Australia - was created in 2001, to advocate for the advancement of breakthrough research in regenerative medicine in order to cure disease and alleviate suffering.

CAMRA comprises nationally-recognized patient organizations, universities, scientific societies, foundations, and individuals with life-threatening illnesses and disorders for which there are currently no cures.

CAMRA endorses and encourages research with both embryonic and adult stem cells into the cause, treatment and prevention of diabetes, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury, motor neurone disease and many other neurodegenerative and neuromuscular disorders.
