Murdoch University

Murdoch has long had a reputation for world-class research, working on the big social and scientific challenges of our time, including climate change; environmental sustainability and adaptation; food, water and biosecurity; as well as human and animal health and welfare. Often working alongside key corporate, government and academic partners, our research outcomes translate into impact.

Murdoch clusters its research into multi-disciplinary Institutes and Centres. The Harry Butler Institute integrates the needs of community, business and the environment, supporting the co-existence of human endeavour and biodiversity. The Health Futures Institute spans research from the genome to the mind; from the population to precision medicine. The Food Futures Institute looks at how to sustainably improve food production as our resources come under pressure. The Asia Research Centre focuses on politics, social change and governance in the contemporary Indo-Pacific region.
