The Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Sciences has a vigorous research program, with all members of staff actively involved. Research interests include: analytical/bioanalytical chemistry, environmental chemistry; atmospheric chemistry; chemical education; physical/biophysical chemistry; organic/bioorganic chemistry; biological/protein chemistry, structural biology, chemical genomics/proteomics, materials chemistry, theoretical chemistry/bioinformactic, molecular biology/genetics, microbiology, molecular cellular biology, and biotechnology.
The Department is well positioned in taking a multidisciplinary approach in addressing contemporary research problems from the molecular perspective, particularly in the areas of environmental and life sciences. It is possible to arrange higher degree programs through collaboration with other departments, ranging from biology to geology to physics. Much of the Department's research funding comes from external bodies such as the Australian Research Council and the National Health and Medical Research Council. Senior Researchers who are not full-time members of staff contribute to postgraduate training as Associate Supervisors.
