Research
Our interdisciplinary research addresses global challenges in human health, food security, and environmental sustainability.
Across scales, from molecules to ecosystems, we uncover the fundamental principles that underpin the complexity of life on Earth. By integrating laboratory, field, and computational approaches, we generate knowledge that supports sustainable solutions for people and the planet. Our research is synergised by the Centre for Medical Mycology and the Living Systems Institute.
