School of Chemical Sciences
Research centres and groups
The School of Chemical Sciences runs various research programmes facilitated at our research centres.
The research and development portfolio encompasses microelectromechanical (MEMS) and microfluidic (Lab-on-a-Chip) technologies with applications in biomedicine, environmental monitoring, and aerospace engineering.
CACM is a joint venture with industry aimed at developing advanced composite materials and manufacturing processes.
FRR studies mechanistic aspects of free radical damage to biomolecules, including DNA and proteins, using nanosecond electron pulse, steady-state radiolysis and radical trapping.
The Hybrid Polymers team, with their research partners, focus on producing new, multi-functional plastics for practical application to business and industry needs.
LMRC is a single-site light metals R&D and training facility. It provides on-site technical support, consulting and analytical services.
The Materials Accelerator is a multi-materials program to assist the manufacturing sector through R&D partnerships between industry and researchers.
A New Zealand Centre of Research Excellence in Biomedicine and Biotechnology Multidisciplinary research in cancer, diabetes and infectious disease.
PCOE is a joint venture with the plastics industry to develop new materials and technologies. It includes educational programs.
The Centre brings together research academics from Science, Medicine and Engineering to develop new polymer electronics materials for sectors such as Health & Bioelectronics and Polymer Electronics in Devices.
The Photon Factory's research employs high energy laser pulses to evaluate the femtosecond dynamics of molecular systems and to directly alter surface structures.
UniServices manages the University’s intellectual property, research-based consultancy partnerships, contract education, and commercialisation.
The Auckland Microfab is a multidisciplinary research facility within the School of Chemical Sciences.
Synthesis of Bioactive molecules, peptides, peptidomimietics, lipopeptides and glycopeptides.
