Our Scientific Divisions & Medical Research

ACRF Cancer Biology and Stem Cells

Our division is focused on breast, lung, ovarian and rare cancers.

Advanced Technology and Biology

Our division uses advanced and emerging technologies to accelerate scientific discoveries.

Bioinformatics and Computational Biology

Scientists in the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology division develop new computational, statistical and AI strategies to interpret the huge amounts of “omics” data generated in biomedical research.

Blood Cells and Blood Cancer

Our division investigates the processes that drive normal blood cell development.

Cancer

We investigate the factors that drive the development of cancers with the aim of finding new therapies that improve patient survival while maintaining their quality of life.

Genetics and Gene Regulation

Our division focuses on understanding how genetics and gene regulation shape health and disease.

Immunity

We’re committed to understanding how our immune systems work and the relationship between dysfunction and disease. Our goal is to make discoveries that help in the prevention, treatment, and management of global health issues.

Immunology

Members of the Immunology division are dedicated to finding out how the immune system works and how it might be manipulated to achieve new disease treatments.

Infection and Global Health

Our division aims to gain knowledge and make discoveries that will aid in the prevention, treatment and management of infectious diseases.

Inflammation

Inflammation is the body’s natural response to infection, disease and tissue damage. However, ongoing or misdirected inflammation underlies many diseases.

Molecular Sciences

Our molecular sciences division investigates how genetics, gene regulation, and the three-dimensional structures of dynamic cellular proteins shape health and disease.

New Medicines and Diagnostics

We use structural, chemical and molecular biology approaches along with medicinal chemistry and high-throughput screening, to discover new therapeutics.

Personalised Oncology

In the Personalised Oncology division clinicians and scientists are working together to reduce the impact of cancer in our community.

Structural Biology

Our division focuses on discovering new medicines through studies of the three-dimensional structure of large biological molecules that are either targets for drugs or potential therapeutic agents.

Technology Sciences

Using advanced and emerging technologies to accelerate scientific discoveries by combining structural, chemical, and molecular biology with medicinal chemistry and high-throughput screening.

Ubiquitin Signalling

Proteins are the fundamental building blocks of cells. They are continuously modified, which alters their function and potential for causing disease.
