UNSW’s Single Molecule Science initiative focuses on transforming medicine by providing a molecular perspective on complex biological systems and processes, encompassing biophysics, biochemistry and cell biology as well as nanotechnology and nanofabrication.
This work is underpinned by the new imaging and analysis technologies being developed by our teams in the Department of Molecular Medicine, School of Biomedical Sciences. Our department is home to the EMBL Australia Node in Single Molecule Science, and nodes of ARC Centres of Excellence in Synthetic Biology and for the Mathematical Analysis of Cellular Systems.
