Swisse funds CM study
February 4, 2014
Health group Swisse will fund
the founding of a Complementary
Medicine Evidence Centre (CMEC)
at La Trobe University, to the tune
of $15 million over six years.
Deputy vice chancellor Professor
Nugent said the CMEC would build
on the existing body of analytical
and clinical research work to
provide independent, rigorous,
peer-reviewed scientific research
and trials, publish data through
industry-funded trials in peer
reviewed journals and collaborate
with other universities, business
and government departments.
“Discussions are under
way with a number of other
complementary medicine
companies, nutraceuticals,
nutritional supplement companies
and government to participate in
the CMEC initiative.”
The Complementary Healthcare
Council of Australia (CHC)
ceo Carl Gibson said a viable
complementary medicines industry
was dependent on research to
support quality, safety, efficacy and
cost effectiveness.
