Research strengths
The Faculty of Science, Technology and Engineering conducts valuable research across a wide variety of disciplines and specialisations. Our research is particularly strong in a number of areas.
Agribiosciences and the environment
La Trobe is at the forefront of research and innovation in Agribiosciences, in partnership with industry and Government.
Human behaviour and thought
Human morality, early signs of autism, language acquisition and improvements to the bionic ear are some of the complex issues that La Trobe researchers are working on.
Molecular science
La Trobe University’s Institute for Molecular Science (LIMS) construction has commenced with an official event presided by the Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, Senator Kim Carr. LIMS will be a world-class facility for molecular science, biotechnology and nanotechnology research and research training.
