  • - (AEST)
  • Alfred Innovation & Education Hub
    75 Commercial Road, Melbourne VIC 3004, Australia

Dive into the world of cool cells and neurons within us!

This exhibition is hosted by Monash University GIN Program. We are a research initiative bringing together experts in Gastroenterology, Immunology and Neuroscience who are passionate about improving our understanding of the connection between the gut, the immune system and the brain (also known as the gut-immune-brain axis) and how it shapes health.

This free exhibition explores this important axis through stunning microscopic images. You will learn about how this interconnected system is responsible for 90% of chronic health conditions.

While the exhibition is free, community visitors need to book a time to visit as you will need access to the venue. Guided group tours are also available and can be booked via email: stm-ginprogram@monash.edu. Please include how many people and preferred day and time for your guided tour.
