About

The Lowy Medical Research Institute (LMRI) is an Australian non-profit medical research organization, founded by the Lowy family. It is singularly dedicated to understanding the causes and developing effective treatments for Macular Telangiectasia Type 2 (MacTel), a rare degenerative retinal disease that leads to progressive central vision loss.

Board Interlocks (3 shared directors)

Giving Philosophy

LMRI's approach to philanthropy is highly targeted and hands-on, focusing on funding and conducting scientific research projects. They foster collaborations with leading international scientists and institutions worldwide, directly supporting research initiatives and clinical trials that advance the understanding and potential treatments for MacTel, rather than operating broad, open grant programs.

Wealth Source:The Lowy family, primarily through their extensive success in retail property development (Westfield Group).

Tips for Applicants

LMRI does not appear to have open, competitive grant programs. Researchers seeking funding for MacTel-related research should explore direct collaboration opportunities or inquire about their specific research initiatives.
