Research

UNSW Medicine is one of the great research focused medical schools in Australia.  As a member of the Australian Group of 8 research-intensive universities and the international Universitas 21 grouping, UNSW is rightly proud of its national and international research profile which, in recent years, has seen a spectacular rise in competitive funding to support its world class research.  UNSW Medicine is at the forefront of UNSW’s research profile.

We take a strategic view of research and aim to focus our resources on identified areas of research excellence.  These are:

UNSW researchers are pre-eminent in brain sciences and neuroscience research. They also are the leading research groups in cardiovascular disease and research related to infection and immunity in the area of hepatitis-C, HIV and AIDS. Combining research into both adult and childhood cancer is a major strength of the university and it occupies a novel position in relationship to this research at an international level. Establishment of the Australian Institute for Health Innovation has positioned us as a leading institute internationally in relationship to cutting-edge research on the interface between healthcare policy and practice. A significant emerging area of research strength involves crucial research into indigenous health issues.
