Research

Our research spans human health, and biomedical, agricultural, food and wine, environmental, and animal and veterinary sciences.

Our researchers have attracted high level national competitive grant funding from both the Australian Research Council, and the National Health & Medical Research Council. In addition, the Faculty strongly promotes close industry collaboration to ensure we are conducting highly applied and strategic research that aligns with local, regional, national and international research priorities and with the Australian National Innovation and Science Agenda.

Industry engagement and a strong presence through local and regional partnerships is an area of excellence, and has resulted in high level research investment from agencies including the Commonwealth Environmental Water Office, ACIAR, Grains Research & Development Corporation, Meat & Livestock Australia, and Fonterra.
