About the Hub

With a focus on safeguarding Australia's environment, community, and economy, the Hub's growing program of biosecurity activities is dedicated to identifying and mitigating biosecurity threats. Through strategic partnerships with higher education institutions, research organisations, governments, and local communities across the Indo-Pacific region, the Hub is strengthening the biosecurity resilience of our neighbouring countries, ensuring a safer and more secure future for all.

The Hub brings together a multidisciplinary team of expert researchers and scientists from various fields, including microbiology, ecology, veterinary science, and environmental science. With access to state-of-the-art facilities, including cutting-edge laboratories, greenhouses, synchrotrons and field testing sites, our researchers are equipped to investigate the complex interactions between pathogens, hosts, and environments. From understanding the molecular biology of emerging diseases to developing novel diagnostic tools and vaccines, our researchers are committed to advancing the field of biosecurity and driving innovation in response to the evolving biosecurity landscape.
