Biomedical Science and Biotechnology

Access incredible facilities and expertise

Studying biomedical science and/or biotechnology at the University of Adelaide will give you access to world-leading technology and subject matter experts. Most notably, these include:

• Australia’s first CRISPR genome editing facility, which is helping our researchers understand the pathology of genetic diseases and disorders, such as muscular dystrophy and epilepsy
• the Australian Institute for Machine Learning, recognised as a world leader in medical machine learning, and ranked #26 globally for computer vision research*.

Be surrounded by world-class research

The University's biological sciences research has been rated world standard or above in the Australian Government's last four consecutive Excellence in Research for Australia assessments^**. This means you'll have the opportunity to learn from - and potentially be involved in - explorations at the forefront of discovery. This could include, for example:

• vaccine and pharmaceutical development
• 3D bioprinting innovations
• AI-assisted microbiological diagnosis.

Career prospects

Employment growth for roles in biomedical science and biotechnology ranges from moderate to strong^{^^}.
