Microbiology
Our microbiology research encompasses the study of microbes and their interaction with the environment or their host (for example during infection).
Specific areas of interest include:
- molecular virology
- bacterial and fungal pathogenesis
- microbial genomics
- parasitology
- innate immunity
- environmental microbiology
- microbial evolution.
We are ranked #19 in the world and #1 in Australia for microbiology in the 2023 NTU Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities.
