Camden Vet Clinic

Camden Vet Clinic

The Camden Vet Clinic is run by the University of Sydney and provides invaluable teaching experience for the final year (Year 5) veterinary interns. Clients attending the clinic will often have a brief initial consultation with one of the interns followed by a thorough examination by one of the experienced supervising veterinarians, who will oversee all veterinary activities performed at the hospital. This gives the interns a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience with the added benefit of having all their findings verified by our experienced clinicians.

The clinic also supports equine, livestock and AREPH services for all types of animals.

Molecular Medicine Research Group

Molecular Medicine Research Group

The Western Sydney University Molecular Medicine Research Group (MMRG) was established to join the Macarthur regions strengths in relevant Basic and Translational research areas. In collocation with local hospitals, including the Ingham Health Research Institute and local Health Care Districts, MMRG promote and integrate interdisciplinary Basic, Clinical, and Translational research.

Biomedical Magnetic Resonance Facility

Biomedical Magnetic Resonance Facility

The Biomedical Magnetic Resonance Facility (BMRF) at Western specialises in assisting researchers, students and industry with a variety of magnetic resonance-based biological, chemical and medical analyses.

The BMRF is capable of conducting all standard contemporary nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments including High Resolution Magic Angle Spinning (HRMAS), Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and NMR diffusion measurements.

Macarthur Astronomical Society

Macarthur Astronomical Society (MAS)

 

The Macarthur Astronomical Society, M.A.S for short, has been providing amateur astronomers with a place to call home since 1996. At its very core, M.A.S seeks to foster a deeper appreciation and understanding of the physical sciences by providing an open and interactive environment for people from all walks of life.
 

The Macarthur region is a fantastic location for star gazing, just a short drive out from Campbelltown or Camden will see you in an open field away from the cities light pollution. Chris detailed the history of astronomy in Macarthur, detailing how the current observing field used by M.A.S, Stargard, is named after Christian Carl Ludwig Rumker's mid 1800's observatory. Rumker was granted property west of the Nepean River in honour of his discovery of Encke's comet in 1822 and was the first to hold the title of government astronomer.

A lot has changed since 1822, astronomy has become accessible to anyone with an interest in outer space and the members of M.A.S have been fighting since 1996 to put astronomy into the heart of our community. Running active visual and photographic groups for the public, M.A.S provide guidance from experienced members who live to teach others.

Science on your door step

This blog is dedicated to all the research conducted by scientists in the Macarthur region.
 

Macarthur is an old area, with plenty of country charm. But in many ways it is turning into the new hotspot for scientific research. Neuroscience,  molecular biology, veterinary science, genetics, plant biology, biosecurity, clinical practice... the list goes on.
 

We dont often think about what it takes to produce quality scientific research. The time it takes, the collaborations, the funding. Every article is made from the blood, sweat and tears of the author's.
 

Hopefully this blog can help bring science from our local universities and research institutes out into the open and highlight just how amazing the work in Macarthur is.

 

The Ingham Institute

The Ingham Institute
 

The Ingham Institute is a not-for-profit medical research organisation for Sydney’s South West that undertakes medical research that specifically addresses, and can be applied to, the needs of the local population and wider Australia.
 

The Ingham Institute comprises a state of the art research precinct located at Liverpool Hospital consisting of a Research Building , a Clinical Skills & Simulation Centre and a Research Bunker containing the MRI-Linac, a unique cancer therapy technology that will be an Australian-first.
 

A unique collaboration between the South Western Sydney Local Health District, the University of Western Sydney (UWS) and the UNSW Australia, our purpose is to create hope through health research.
