Develop your advanced research skills and contribute to new developments in health and biomedical sciences.

The School of Health and Biomedical Sciences is committed to an interdisciplinary, collegial approach to scientific investigation.

This approach brings together clinical and basic researchers who explore the boundaries between the disciplines. Findings inform clinical teaching and advance the treatment of patients.

Projects can involve more than 120 researchers including academic staff, postdoctoral fellows, research assistants, support staff, honours and postgraduate students. Research is undertaken at RMIT's Bundoora campus in the purpose-built biosciences facility. The building's shared spaces promote a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach to science.

Under expert supervision, you will develop your skills and join researchers already active in:

• cardiovascular disease, stroke and thrombosis
• chronic respiratory disease
• comparative biochemistry
• endocrinology and metabolic disease (obesity, diabetes and fatty liver disease)
• gastrointestinal diseases
• NanoSafe Australia
• natural products, drug discovery and new therapeutics
• neuropharmacology and neuroinflammatory diseases
• nutrition and exercise physiology and biochemistry
• skin biology and tissue repair

A master’s degree will provide you with a foundation for further studies into a PhD and employment in senior leadership and management research-based positions in a variety of government, non-government and corporate organisations.
