Our research in ecology and environment, microbiology, biochemistry and molecular biology is shaping new approaches to address a range of global challenges.

Research themes

We focus on sustainable agriculture with research from the scale of the molecule and gene to whole organism, from the paddock to farm to catchment.
 

Our research combines the controlled precision of the lab with far-reaching explorations of organisms in their natural habitats in both water and land.
 

Our research involves microbes through to plants and humans, dealing with problems for human, animal and plant development, health and disease, and environment.
