Our research centres
Centre for Genomics and Personalised Health
Our research spans the design, development, and application of methods for genomic discovery, analysis and translation to drive outcomes in the real world of clinical and personalised health.
Centre for Immunology and Infection Control
An inter-disciplinary and cross-sectoral innovation hub to investigate and develop tools to diagnose, prevent and treat diseases resulting from immune dysregulation or pathogen infection.
Centre for Microbiome Research
We develop novel culture-independent molecular approaches and bioinformatics tools to answer important questions about the role of microbial communities in human and environmental health.
Centre for Biomedical Technologies
The Centre for Biomedical Technologies aims to deliver better health in our lifetime, by improving how we treat complex medical cases stemming from injuries, infection and age-related issues.
Centre for Visions and Eye Research
At the Centre for Vision and Eye Research, we are shaping the future of vision through our research and working to address vision problems affecting everyday Australians.

H2 laboratory
QUT’s H2 Laboratory at the Kelvin Grove Campus is used in undergraduate lab activities in immunology, virology, genomics and microbiology.
This 120-seat wet lab also compliments the Q Block Super-Lab at the Gardens Point Campus where biomedical science students use specialised facilities to study cell molecular investigation, pathology and physiology.
Q block super-lab
QUT's Q block super-lab is a state-of-the-art flexible multi-purpose multidisciplinary 150 student lab that incorporates world class technologies in a single, flexible, open, dynamic teaching laboratory.
Centre for Children's Health Research
The Centre for Children’s Health Research (CCHR) is Queensland's first fully integrated research facility focused on child and adolescent health research and services. CCHR's research aims to understand, prevent, diagnose and treat key child health issues.
Translational Research Institute (TRI)
The Translational Research Institute (TRI) is a unique, Australian-first initiative of ‘bench to bedside’ medical research. Translational research involves teams of clinicians and researchers working together with patients to solve health challenges faster.
QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute
QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute seeks to discover, diagnose and deliver better treatments for some of the world’s most deadliest diseases. It is known as one of Australia’s most successful medical research institutes, translating discoveries from bench to bedside for a better future of health.
