Research centres, institutes and groups

The Sydney Institute of Agriculture was established to bring together agricultural research from across the University of Sydney and contribute valuable knowledge to the agriculture and food sector.

We are a leader in big data science with local and national supercomputing resources supporting simulations of cosmology, galaxy formation and evolution.

We study collective behaviours and critical phenomena in various contexts: brain dynamics, computational epidemiology, urban and social dynamics, swarm intelligence, distributed computation, systems biology and nanoscience.

We use fundamental physics to solve challenging medical issues. We improve lives through imaging and radiation therapy, employing cutting-edge techniques and technology to provide innovative solutions.

Dedicated to conducting impactful research at the crossroads of psychology, medicine, and public health.

Paving the way for novel, better and more environmentally-friendly industrial products

We’re positively changing oceans through our research in biology, ecology, geosciences, climate change technology, green engineering, ocean observation, marine geology and international law and policy.

Established in 2008, the Institute of Photonics and Optical Science (IPOS) draws together research and teaching expertise across the Schools of Physics, Electrical and Information Engineering, Mathematics, and Chemistry.

We have close to 1900 members - researchers, doctors, psychologists and other health professionals with a common mission to care for the whole person, not just the disease.

Plant breeding contributes to our food supply and the beauty of the world around us. The Plant Breeding Institute is committed to improving our crop and horticultural species using the best that technology has to offer.

Renowned world-wide for providing clinical expertise, the best tutors, a guided approach to learning and clinical forums, the CVE is an established and recognised leader in continuing veterinary education

We are a world-leading precision data discovery centre that facilitates data decision making in the areas of health and wellbeing, food sciences, conservation, and biomedicine.
