Biochemistry Departments and Research Centres in Australia

* CSIRO
CSIRO is Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation. They are one of the world's largest and most diverse scientific research institutions. Their work touches just about every aspect of Australian life: everything from the molecules of life to the molecules in space - finding ways to improve our quality of life and economic performance.

* Macquarie University
The Department of Biological Sciences is a multidisciplinary Department in which staff members and their research students carry out research on a wide range of contemporary biological problems.

* Monash University

* University of Adelaide
The Department of Molecular Biosciences coordinates and consolidates the University's work in the disciplines of Genetics, Biochemistry and Microbiology & Immunology.

* University of Melbourne
The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology contains over 15 research groups with a broad range of interests in biochemistry: protein structure and function, cell biology, molecular biology and biophysics.

* University of NSW
Biochemistry, molecular biology and molecular genetics are the key foundations of modern biology, biomedicine and biotechnology. The UNSW School of Biochemistry & Molecular Genetics provides a range of basic and advanced programs to prepare students for the science of tomorrow.

* University of Queensland
Both within The University of Queensland and the State of Queensland, the Department is the academic organisation which provides the most comprehensive teaching, training and research in biochemistry and molecular biology. Our major objective is to maintain and enhance the Department's status as one of Australia's leading Departments of Biochemistry, committed to the pursuit of excellence in all major branches of biochemistry and molecular biology.

* University of Sydney
The best place to start for information about biochemistry at the University of Sydney. It provides information on research, study, staff profiles, and seminars held in the department.

* University of Tasmania

* University of Western Australia
The department has a major interest in molecular and cell biology, particularly in relation to the transformation and differentiation of hemopoietic cells, pesticide resistance, genetic predisposition to diabetes and alcoholism, the biochemistry of the ovary, and adaptive mechanisms in arid zone animals. Other major areas of interest are lactation, storage of blood cells, enzymology, hormonal mechanisms in cellular responses, protein structure and plant cell culture.

* Walter and Eliza Hall
Affiliated with the University of Melbourne and the Royal Melbourne Hospital the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute is Melbourne's - and Australia's - oldest and most respected medical research institute.
