Research Strengths

Research programs are well developed in each of the Faculty's seven schools, covering key health disciplines and purpose-specific research centres focus on key and emerging fields.

The Faculty's key research strengths are in the fields of: 

• Chronic Disease - prevention and treatment
• Quality Use of Healthcare - for the community and the individual
• Measurement and monitoring of health determinants and outcomes. 

Central to the Faculty’s research success is a strong philosophy of collaboration, across the Faculty and the University, with UQ’s internationally recognised Institute for Molecular Bioscience, the Queensland Brain Institute, the Diamantina Institute, The Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, as well as with leading Australian research hospitals and other important research nodes, nationally and around the world. The Faculty is currently leading the development of a new pharmacy education and research precinct called PACE – Pharmacy Australian Centre of Excellence with key professional and industry partners.

The Faculty has further developed its research capacity with the $60million UQ Centre for Clinical Research in partnership with the Queensland Government and Atlantic Philanthropies, as well as plans with the State Government for a smart therapies development centre, focused on translational research from discovery to drug production and clinical trials at the Princess Alexandra Hospital.
The Faculty of Health Sciences is keen to pursue new and continuing research agreements with industry. For more information about opportunities, please contact the Faculty Associate Dean (Research):
