Research Excellence in Science, Medicine and Health
Research quality in the Faculty is rated “well above world standard” - the highest rating possible - in many individual disciplines, as well as in the overall field of Chemical Sciences (Excellence in Research for Australia Initiative latest round).
During the last three years alone, Faculty of SMAH researchers have secured research and innovation income worth more than $130M for projects as diverse as exploring Australia's unique human and environmental history to investigating fundamental processes of life, one molecule at a time. Our expertise in single-molecule biophysics is at the heart of UOW’s world-leading $80m Molecular Horizons research facility.
