Research

Research at AusSun 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. AusSun aims to shed some light on this dichotomy.

Call for research students interested in project related to the response of skin cells to sunlight

Community

Sometimes the results of scientific endeavours never make it to the people who need it most, you! Thus, the AusSun Research Lab engages the public in a variety of ways to provide information and advice regarding the sun, sun exposure, and sun safety.
