The University of Queensland School of Medicine has a strong research presence based in the five city hospital campuses in Brisbane as well as a committed regional and rural research focus throughout Southern Queensland.
The school attracts close to $25m annually in competitive research funding. This research effort is focussed in 23 School Research Centres but also includes research in virtually all of the medical disciplines and most current methodologies from molecular and cellular to clinical practice and epidemiology.
The School employs almost 240 academic staff members, many of these also having significant clinical roles in the health system, and the school also supports over 1500 medical professionals who hold academic titles and who contribute actively to the teaching and research programs. Almost 300 Research Higher Degree (RHD) students are currently enrolled in the School of Medicine and over 30 PhDs and MPhils are awarded each year by the University to school RHD students.
The School of Medicine’s Research Office provides coordination, advice and research support for the clinicians, researchers and research students.
