About us
The La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science (LIMS) has established La Trobe University as an international research leader in the fields of molecular science, biotechnology and nanotechnology.
Established in 2009, the broad objective of LIMS is to research and understand fundamental processes in biochemistry, cell biology and molecular science, as well as to explore ways to realise their potential applications in medicine and biotechnology. In addition to these aims, LIMS is committed to training the next generation of Australian scientists as well as stimulating an interest in science amongst secondary school students.
In early 2013, LIMS will move into a new multi-million dollar complex at La Trobe’s Melbourne campus. Currently under construction, the new LIMS complex is La Trobe University’s largest ever investment in research and academic infrastructure.
