Biological solutions for healthy societies
Our research tackles biomedical challenges, from remedying infectious and non-communicable disease drivers to tackling the drivers of health inequalities, often in partnership with peers in the health and medical fields.
-
Andrianopoulos Lab - Microbial and Developmental Genetics
Using an array of genetic and genomic approaches, the research in the lab aims to understand how fungi infect humans, get around the immune defence systems and cause disease.

BRITE – BioSciences Research & Innovation in Teaching Effectiveness
Enabling, evaluating and undertaking research around good teaching practice, including new and innovative learning experiences.
-
CEBRA - Economics of Biosecurity
Strategic thinking and practical solutions across the biosecurity continuum. We deliver practical, rigorous solutions and strategic advice for biosecurity risk assessment, management, and communication.
-
Green Lab - Reproductive technologies
Our lab investigates improving outcomes of human and animal ART, identifying critical pathways in early embryo development and metabolism, and determining the effects of endocrine and environmental factors on fertility and offspring health.
-
Johnson Lab Group - Plant Nutrition
Can we change how plants absorb nutrients to produce more nutritious crops? We employ a variety of molecular tools to discover, characterize and engineer plant genes that are important for the absorption and bioavailability of iron and zinc.

Jusuf Lab - Neural Development and Regeneration
Understanding the genetic networks that co-ordinate the generation of different types of neurons in the central nervous system of vertebrates.
-
McFadden Lab - Malaria and Endosymbiosis
Our group is interested in malaria and symbiosis - two topics that seem somewhat far apart but are in fact strangely interconnected. Our research has led to a paradigm shift in understanding the malaria parasite.
-
Male Infertility and Germ Cell Biology Laboratory
Identifying key mechanisms required for male germ cell development, the aetiology of human male infertility and the interplay between fertility and health.
