Our research is unified under three interconnected themes that support the development of targeted, effective and patient-centred treatments across the lifespan. Our work spans fundamental cell and molecular science, systems physiology, pharmacology, pharmaceutical formulation, drug delivery, medical device innovation and clinical pharmacy practice.

We collaborate with healthcare partners, research institutes and industry to translate scientific discoveries into improved patient outcomes.

Research Themes

Brain, Behaviour & Neuroimmune Health

Understanding neurochemical, molecular and immune pathways that influence pain, stress, mood and neurodegenerative conditions.

Lifelong Health: Development, Ageing & Human Adaptation

Investigating how reproductive biology, development, ageing, exercise and stress shape human function, resilience and wellbeing.

Therapeutics, Medicines & Medical Technologies

Advancing drug discovery, pharmaceutical formulation, drug delivery, clinical pharmacy practice and medical device innovation to improve therapeutic outcomes.

Flagship Focus: Ocular Therapeutics & Vision Science: 

Developing treatments for cataract, corneal and retinal disease through ocular cell biology, disease modelling, targeted drug delivery and ophthalmic medical device development.
