Research Groups
Through the disciplines of chemistry, computational biology, genetics, genomics,
solar biotechnology means we see what others can’t.
We are changing the future of health and well being
Our research marks the beginning of a new future. Exploring the molecular realm, we examine the smallest units of life to discover how the world works. We continually push the boundaries of the scientific frontier, searching for answers to some of the world’s most challenging problems.

Stories
- 25 August 2020The Institute for Molecular Bioscience's Professor Kate Schroder talks about her highs and lows on the path to success, and what advice she would give herself if she was 16 years old today.
- Some new studies have found people who were never symptomatic, exposed to, or tested positive for COVID-19 that have immune cells that can recognise COVID-19.
- IMB researchers are continuing their search for new, eco-friendly pesticides with the support of the Australian Research Council.
