ASHRL Notices


ASHRL has many projects available for postgraduate studies (Honours, Masters and PhD level) into the impact on sun exposure and health. Projects can include:

  • climate change
  • skin cancer
  • Vitamin D synthesis

Contact Dr Michael Kimlin for more information.

Research

Research at ASHRL is focused on finding and understanding the varying effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Ultraviolet radiation can have both negative (skin cancer, eye disorders) and postive (vitamin D synthesis) impacts on the body. ASHRL aims to shed some light on this dichotomy.

Community

Sometimes the results of scientific endeavours never make it to the people who need it most, you! Thus, the Australian Sun and Health Research Laboratory attempts to engage the public in a variety of ways to provide information and advice regarding the sun, sun exposure, and sun safety.

Industry

The Australian Sun and Health Research Laboratory can provide a number of services to industry, including UV risk assessment, personal dosimetry, UV testing of products, spectral measurements, and much more.
