Our Our research tradition
Even before we became the global university we are today, our
research
researchers looked beyond traditional boundaries, creating new
frontiers and discovering new ways of approaching the fields in which
they worked. That’s why a Monash education is respected around the
world. Things that we now take for granted would not exist without
the initial work of Monash researchers:
First in-vitro fertilisation pregnancy
Professors Alan Trounson and Carl Wood achieved the world’s first IVF
pregnancy in 1973. The Trounson and Wood team went on to achieve
Australia’s first (and the world’s fourth) successful IVF birth in 1980.
Fighting influenza
In 1986, a team from our Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical
Sciences (formerly the Victorian College of Pharmacy) designed and
synthesised the anti-flu drug, Relenza. Relenza first became available
in Australia in 1999 and is now used globally.
Nobel Peace Prize
In 2007, eight scientists from Monash University shared in the
prestige of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, awarded jointly to the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and former US Vice-
President Al Gore.
We judge our research by its academic excellence, but also by
the impact it has on the communities we engage with and serve.

Elena Bruno
Master of Design
Elena is an Italian designer who studied in England before moving to Australia
to further her professional development.
“I wanted to refine the design skills and expand my professional network in Australia.
I chose Monash based on its reputation. I was also impressed by the work of
previous students.”
Elena’s final project, a painting set designed specifically for people with disabilities,
brings together aesthetics, ergonomics and usability.
“I have focused on expanding my portfolio in assistive and inclusive design. I have
also had access to outstanding academic support and equipment. Seeing my
full-scale model for my final project coming together has been very satisfying.”

Mel Barnes
Master of Tourism
Mel chose to pursue her postgraduate studies alongside her full-time career,
to have an advantage over other graduates in a competitive job market.
“Tourism isn’t all about holidays! The program has an interdisciplinary focus and
covers a wide range of academic fields. Lectures are available outside business
hours and block subjects are a fantastic option for full-time workers. I recently took
one week of annual leave to complete subject course work in Fiji. This allowed for
full immersion into the program and fieldwork study. Staff in the Graduate Tourism
program understand the commitments involved in working and studying full time
and they are only a phone call or email away.”
