About the School

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.

The Director of RSB,
Professor Kiaran Kirk
