Most diseases can best be understood by investigating their underlying causes at the cellular and molecular level. One area of particular interest is immunology; the mechanism by which the body defends itself from infection. We study the immune response and the genes that control it, in order to develop more effective treatments for a wide range of diseases from AIDS to cancer. We also study the role of hormones within the body and their relation to medical problems such as high blood pressure. Another important area of research is neuroscience - exploring the workings of the brain from its large-scale functional anatomy, down to individual neurones. At the clinical level, ANU has a world-class medical school providing training in a diverse range of clinical practices in collaboration with two major public hospitals in the region.
