UOW is fast becoming a leader of innovation.

Biophysics touches almost every aspect of our existence, and will be an essential part of developing new ways to detect and attack disease. Combining principles from biology, physics, chemistry, and mathematics provides the basis to understand the biological processes of many of nature’s systems one molecule at a time. 

UOW is a young university, but is fast becoming a hub of innovation with a growing number of collaborative projects occuring between researchers both internally and abroad.

In 2016 UOW updated its governing master plan for the next 20 years. In this coming period the university intends to proritise and bolster its research program – a plan spearheaded by the Molecular Horizons project. This new $80 million research facility will be dedicated to illuminating how life works at a molecular level and solving some of the biggest health challenges facing the world. At the heart of this new project sits our biophysics research group which will open countless new doors for research opportunities.

The world is changing at a rapid pace. UOW plans to not just keep up, but stay at the forefront of scientific discovery. If this aligns with your research ideas, please contact us.

Big Little Breakthroughs.
