National Life Science Hub (NaLSH):
An Integrated Science Hub in Food Security, Plant and Animal Health for Inland Australia at Charles Sturt University, Wagga.

The interdisciplinary Hub will include a Life Sciences Teaching and Learning Complex, a Life Sciences Collaborative Research Complex, a Glasshouse Complex, Controlled-Environment Facilities, an Integrated Field Laboratory and the largest and most sophisticated Rhizolysimeter in the world, which will be used for cutting-edge bioinformatics research.
