Scientific divisions

ACRF Cancer Biology and Stem Cells

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

ACRF Chemical Biology Division

The ACRF Chemical Biology division aims to discover new medicines.

Advanced Technology and Biology

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

Bioinformatics

Scientists in the Bioinformatics division use methods from mathematics, statistics, and computer science to solve problems in medical research.

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.

Clinical Discovery and Translation

The Clinical Discovery and Translation team works to turn laboratory discoveries into improved outcomes for patients.

Epigenetics and Development

Researchers in our division study how cell growth and differentiation is regulated in normal development and in disease.

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.

Infectious Diseases and Immune Defence

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.

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.

Population Health and Immunity

Our division uses population-based and experimental studies to investigate human biology and disease.

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.

Ubiquitin Signalling

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