What is CAMRA?

CAMRA is The Coalition for the Advancement of Medical Research Australia. CAMRA was formed 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.

CAMRA supports Australian embryonic stem cell research with the hope that therapies can be developed to help the hundreds of thousands of Australians who suffer from the array of diseases, disorders and disabilities.

CAMRA's Aim

To support the advance of Australian stem cell research, either within Australia or in collaboration with relevant international researchers and organisations, so that therapies can be developed to help the hundreds of thousands of Australians who suffer from the array of diseases, disorders and disabilities for which stem cell research offers realistic hope for the development of effective treatments and ultimate cures.

CAMRA's Mission

To strive to ensure legislative support from Federal and State Governments for stem cell research and therapies now, and in the future.
