Biological
research problems are complex and require an integrated
approach. Research in RSBS is highly collaborative
and multi-disciplinary, to maximise available expertise
on every project. To further strengthen our research
we have established more than 200 scientific collaborations
between RSBS, other parts of the ANU, other universities,
research institutes and government.
The
ARC Centre of Excellence for Integrative Legume
Research
The CILR is a research
network of plant scientists conducting high quality,
cutting-edge research into legumes and other plant
species. Our scientists aim to understand how plant
cells communicate, grow and differentiate. Research
into plant physiology, molecular and cell biology
is providing fundamental insights in to developing
enhanced food production, agricultural sustainability,
environmental quality and products for human health. |

ARC
Centre of Excellence in Vision Science
The ARC Centre of Excellence
in Vision Science brings together major research programs
in vision sciences at the Australian National University
with cognate programs at the Universities of Queensland,
Sydney and Western Australia. The research at the Centre
is focused on unravelling the cellular basis of visual
sensing and processing; on revealing the algorithms
that underlie the visual control of behaviour and perception;
and on discovering the cellular mechanisms that make
the eye and retina stable, and whose breakdown causes
blindness. |

ARC Centre of Excellence in Kangaroo Genomics
The ARC Centre for Kangaroo
Genomics, fondly called KanGO, was established in
2003 through a grant from the Australian Research Council as well as funding
provided by the partner institutions that form the Centre and the Victorian
Government Department of Innovation, Industry and Regional Development.
It has been upgraded to a Centre of Excellence with an extension of funding until 2010. |

ARC
Special Research Centre for the Molecular Genetics
of Development
The Centre was established
to work towards a molecular understanding of the
rules and mechanisms that govern the behaviour of
cells during development. Advances in this area will
generate a new wave of medical and commercial applications. |

CIMMYT - Cereal
Crops ARC
Apomixis is the process of creating fertile seed
without pollination, which can revolutionise plant
breeding by capturing the genetic makeup of plants
that have improved vigour, resistance to disease
or high yields under tough conditions. Apomixis
occurs naturally in some plants but not yet in
cereal crops. We and our international collaborators
are using molecular genetics to create apomixis
in crops. |

Centre for Visual Sciences
The Centre fosters collaborative research in the field of visual science across
the ANU campus. The Centre's strong network is supported through funding collaborative
research projects, visiting fellowships, seminars and conferences. Research
work ranges from the physiological properties of single neurones and small assemblies,
to visually guided behaviour in arthropods, human psychophysics and robotics.
