About
The ANU Research School of Biology (RSB) carries out research in a wide range of biological and biomedical sciences. It also oversees the University's Biology curriculum, with a diverse offering of courses across both undergraduate and graduate degrees.
The ANU Research School of Biology carries out research, research training (MPhil and PhD), undergraduate and coursework Masters teaching in a wide range of biological and biomedical sciences. Research in the School is carried out in three Divisions:
The School oversees the ANU Biology curriculum, offering a diverse range of courses that form part of both undergraduate, Honours and graduate coursework Masters degrees. The education program 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.
Research groups within the School are housed in the Linnaeus and RN Robertson Buildings, which provide state-of-the-art laboratories. Much of the School's teaching activities are carried out in the Sciences Teaching Building, which is immediately adjacent to the Linnaeus Building and which provides modern teaching laboratories and flexible learning facilities.
Research School of Biology is led by a Director who has ultimate responsibility for strategic direction, budget, and the operation of the School.
The Research School of Biology established the Ralph Slatyer medal for outstanding research in the field of biology, including biomedical science, in honour of emeritus Professor Ralph Slatyer AO, FAA, FRS. Professor Slatyer was a distinguished scientist, a former Director of the RSB and the first Chief Scientist of Australia (1989 – 1992).
We remember some achievements and memorable occasions over the years, along with some institutional and personal stories and photos.
The Research School of Biology (RSB) at the Australian National University takes inclusion, equity and diversity seriously.
