Affiliated with the University of Sydney and the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, the Woolcock Institute is located in the Sydney suburb of Glebe, New South Wales; with a satellite office located in Hanoi, Vietnam.The Executive Director of the Woolcock Institute since July 2012 is Professor Carol Armour.

    History and facilities[edit]

    The institute was founded in 1981 by then Prof. Ann Woolcock, a professor of respiratory medicine/science at the Sydney Medical School[2] and was originally called the Institute of Respiratory Medicine. The Institute was renamed in memory of Woolcock in 2002 after her passing in 2001.[3] The research institute has collaborative agreements with the Hunter Area Health Service, the University of Newcastle, and Liverpool, Concord and Royal North Shore Hospitals.[4]

    Originally, the Woolcock Institute of Medical Research was located within the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Camperdown before it was relocated to a custom-built building in Glebe in 2008.[5][3] In addition to research facilities, including offices, "wet-lab" laboratories and sleep laboratories, there are also consulting rooms for doctors' clinics.[citation needed]
