Our research centres
Our research expertise and capabilities are best reflected by research areas our scientists and mathematicians conduct their research.
Our focus is on investigating the development and progression of chronic respiratory diseases such as COPD, asthma, lung cancer and infections using mouse and human tissues.
Transforming advances in photonics and materials into revolutionary biomedical technologies. We are a unique team, carrying out interdisciplinary, international and industrial collaborative research that will meet end-users’ urgent needs.
We are a non-profit organisation dedicated to the understanding, prevention and reduction of mental health problems in young people aged 5 to 25, so that they can thrive through their formative years.
Through discovery and applied research, the Australian Institute for Microbiology and Infection (AIMI) seeks to build a better understanding of how microbes grow, live, adapt and survive in all environments and as part of complex, interconnected systems.
The Centre gathers academics and associate industry partners who share the vision that crime reduction, crime solving and national security in general are important for society.
The Climate Change Cluster (C3) provides a deeper understanding of the world’s aquatic plant and microbe ecosystems that are critical to the wellbeing of the global community. We produce new insights that address the challenges of human and ecological interactions with the climate.
The Centre for Clean Energy Technology focuses on the development of efficient devices for energy harvesting, storage, and conversion.
Our research facilities
We have made significant investments in advanced, specialised research facilities, equipped with state-of-the-art scientific instruments to support both students and researchers.
The Microstructural Analysis Unit offers researchers in physical and biological sciences access to cutting-edge microscopy tools and materials analysis equipment. This facility is essential for advanced research in material sciences.
The Elemental Bio-Imaging Facility combines expertise in analytical chemistry, physics and biological sciences, to develop state-of-the-art bio-imaging solutions. It addresses complex research questions through advanced imaging technologies.
The Microbial Imaging Facility provides high-resolution imaging for studying microorganisms and biological processes. It is equipped for advanced microscopy and supports both optical and electron microscopy research.
Discover UTS’s groundbreaking Science Super Lab, a cutting-edge facility for interactive learning.
The Biomanufacturing Immersion Facility at UTS fosters collaboration with industry and government to advance the rapidly developing biologics sector. This facility supports cutting-edge research and development in biologics, offering the latest opportunities in this field.
The Surgical and Anatomical Science Facility is a leading human anatomical laboratory, offering world-class specimen viewing and preparation. It is equipped with the latest technologies to support advanced surgical and anatomical research.
The Proteomics Core Facility at UTS brings together leading-edge technologies for protein analysis, including preparation, separation and characterisation. This facility supports comprehensive research in proteomics, contributing to advances in biomedical science.
Located within the Australian Institute for Microbiology and Infection, the Sequencing Facility provides next-generation sequencing services. It supports both internal and external researchers in generating high-quality genomic data.
