The ANU Research School of Biology
carries out research and teaching in a wide range of biological and biomedical
sciences. Research in the School is carried out within three Divisions:
Biomedical Science and Biochemistry
Evolution, Ecology and Genetics
Plant Science
In addition to carrying out research and PhD
student training, the School oversees the
ANU Biology curriculum, offering a diverse range of courses that form part
of both undergraduate and
postgraduate (coursework
Masters) degrees. The education
programme is 'research-led' and features teaching contributions from leading
scientists from a wide range of biological and biomedical disciplines. Students
have opportunities to work in research labs in the School, both as part of
their degrees and as Summer Scholars.
A new Biology
Building to accommodate all the PC2 research labs in the School is presently
under construction and will be completed in mid-2011. Work is soon
to begin on a new Teaching
Building, adjacent to the new Biology Building, and designed to provide
state-of-the-art teaching laboratories and flexible learning facilities for
undergraduates and coursework students.
The Research School of Biology was formed from a number of pre-existing units
late in 2008. We are in the process of coalescing the different websites into
one. This is a big project and there will, for a time, be web pages reflecting
the previous structure. Please bear with us.
