The nine-level centre houses wet and dry laboratories, pathology services, a gait laboratory, a nutrition laboratory and the Queensland Children’s Tumour Bank, funded by the Children’s Hospital Foundation, which provides a tissue repository for national and international cancer research. The Centre also houses the Queensland Children’s Motion Analysis Service and the Children’s Nutrition Research Centre.
