Department of Biochemistry and Chemistry facilities

Our facilities provide staff and students with outstanding learning and research environments.
Our teaching facilities include world-class learning spaces and laboratories where students can undertake practical experience in biochemistry, biomedicine and chemistry.
Our researchers are based in the La Trobe Institute of Molecular Science, which features over 50 molecular science laboratories, supported by a range of specialist research platforms.
Our staff work together in well-equipped, shared workspaces to achieve research outcomes that would not be possible in traditional academic settings.
Our facilities include:
The La Trobe Proteomics and Metabolomics Platform features a suite of synergistic capabilities for the characterisation of molecules of interest to academic and industry researchers in the agricultural, health, life, pharmaceutical, population and psychological sciences.
