Research and industry
Rice may disappear from Asian dining tables unless the growth in regional floods and droughts is reversed, a Monash Sunway researcher says.
The head of Malaysia’s stock exchange, Bursa Malaysia, says our Simulated Trading Lab lets students perfect their stock trading skills and sets us apart from the rest.
21st century explorers
Our researchers are explorers, encouraged to solve urgent problems in new ways and work in multidisciplinary teams to tackle big problems from all angles.
You can see our culture at work in the efforts of our arts and medicine schools, who are involved in the international SEACO project, a community-based ‘health laboratory’ with public health, social and environmental science implications.
Global research, local impact
At Monash Sunway, we’re committed to research that benefits the communities we engage with and serve. While our focus and practice is international, we produce research that improves our region's quality of life and competitiveness.
Our priorities are set by the needs of Malaysians, our region’s people and the world. They’re also set by our areas of expertise to give our research real impact.
That’s why we’re leaders in tropical medicine, genomics, green electronics, social transformation and halal ecosystems, to name just some of our strengths.
The Monash Halal Ecosystem
Our team of business, science, medicine, IT and engineering researchers are working on the Monash Halal Ecosystem Model to deliver products and services – everything from food to banking – to two-billion plus Muslims.
Industry and government
We’re here for the long haul
We're committed to long-term industry and government partnerships to achieve long-term community benefits.
With Malaysian and Indian government help, our MyMAP Accelerator project is getting herbal plants of medicinal value to markets faster. And our green technology team is working with industry to improve heat-pump, air-conditioner and solar-power efficiency.
Top brains at BRIMS
The government-supported Brain Research Institute at Monash Sunway is headed by the world’s top comparative neuroscientist. No wonder it’s become the region’s top centre for brain research into reproductive ageing and related neuropsychiatric disorders.
