We bring together multidisciplinary research teams to address global challenges, ranging from food security to climate change. We work across all levels of complexity, from genes to whole organisms, and in natural to modified ecosystems. The school has an outstanding record of producing impactful pure and applied research outcomes, with ERA ratings for fields of research either at or well above world standard (ERA 2015).
We are the partner of choice for research and innovation at federal, state and regional government levels, and with industry and end-users.
Our researchers currently play a leadership role in the Australian Research Council’s (ARC) Industrial Transformation Research Centre for Fruit Fly Biosecurity Innovation, the ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology, and the ARC Centre of Excellence in Plant Success.
School members have leadership roles and are affiliated with a number of university research centres including the Centre for Agriculture and Bioeconomy, Centre for the Environment and Centre for a Waste-Free World.
