The NIIM Research Department was established in 2012 to conduct research into the safety and efficacy of complementary medicines, as well as emerging treatments and technologies. NIIM works with a network of valued local and international partners, such as Charitable Foundations, universities, academic institutions and other organisations.
The Institute conducts research in many areas including cancer, heart health, cognition, chronic diseases, and mind-body medicine. NIIM is proud to contribute to the growing scientific evidence base showing that the integrative medical approach supports the treatment of complex illnesses and also improves general health and wellbeing.
The NIIM Research Department is celebrating its ten-year anniversary in 2022. To read more about the significant studies undertaken by NIIM Research over the past ten years, please read our brochure ‘Celebrating 10 Years of Research 2012 – 2022’
