The Health and Food Sciences Precinct will focus on ways to help people live longer, healthier and more fulfilling lives through advances in healthcare, medicine, food and nutrition.

The first of its kind in Australia, the Health and Food Sciences Precinct will cover both human and animal health and food sciences in one physical location.

The expansion of existing Queensland Health research facilities at Coopers Plains, Brisbane will create a science "centre of excellence" and complement the Ecosciences Precinct to be located at the Boggo Road Urban Village redevelopment, Dutton Park, Brisbane.

Scientists from Queensland Health, Queensland Primary Industries and Fisheries, Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) will join together to create a vibrant knowledge centre for health and food.
