Biological research problems
are complex and require an integrated approach. Research in RSB
is highly collaborative and multi-disciplinary, to maximise available
expertise on every project. To further strengthen our research we
have established more than 200 scientific collaborations between
RSB, other parts of the ANU, other universities, research institutes
and government.

The ARC Centre for Kangaroo Genomics,
fondly called KanGO, was established in 2003 through a grant
from the Australian Research Council as well as funding provided
by the partner institutions that form the Centre and the Victorian
Government Department of Innovation, Industry and Regional Development.
It has been upgraded to a Centre of Excellence with an extension
of funding until 2010. |

The Centre was
established to work towards a molecular
understanding of the rules and mechanisms
that govern the behaviour of cells during
development. Advances in this area will
generate a new wave of medical and commercial
applications. |

A cutting edge research centre focused on better understanding the way
in which plants produce and use their energy systems in response to environmental
change. |

The ARC Centre of Excellence in Vision
Science brings together major research programs in vision sciences
at the Australian National University with cognate programs
at the Universities of Queensland, Sydney and Western Australia. |

Apomixis is the
process of creating fertile seed without
pollination, which can revolutionise
plant breeding by capturing the genetic
makeup of plants that have improved vigour,
resistance to disease or high yields
under tough conditions. Apomixis occurs
naturally in some plants but not yet
in cereal crops. We and our international
collaborators are using molecular genetics
to create apomixis in crops. |

The Centre fosters collaborative research
in the field of visual science across the ANU campus. The Centre's
strong network is supported through funding collaborative research
projects, visiting fellowships, seminars and conferences. Research
work ranges from the physiological properties of single neurones
and small assemblies, to visually guided behaviour in arthropods,
human psychophysics and robotics. |
