COVID-19 research

We're involved in a broad range of activities with government and industry in response to COVID-19.

Our capabilities

Infectious diseases

Our unique expertise works to minimise the impact of costly infectious disease outbreaks.

Public health & wellbeing

We’re supporting better health for all Australians, working with both private and public sectors to bring scientifically validated health programs, tools and more to communities and individuals.

Advanced medical diagnostics

The evolving diagnostics industry in Australia is facilitating a shift from managing chronic diseases as they arise to detecting them well before they've had a chance to take hold. We're developing solutions to detect and prevent chronic diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and metabolic diseases from occurring.

Nutrition science

With our specialist knowledge of how foods, extracts and nutrients impact gut, cardio-metabolic and brain health, we can develop and scientifically substantiate nutrition solutions resulting in health and economic benefits for Australians.
