Innovative Global Solutions

Providing leading-edge research facilities and services, the Cellulose Valley Institute creates synergies by offering the collective skills of clinicians, pharmacognosists, phytochemists, plant geneticists, health/education practitioners, and environmentalists on single or multiple projects. Such an approach has lead to outcomes that few other groups in the world can achieve.

These synergies are being established by a range of organisations and projects within the Cellulose Valley network that include Southern Cross University's:

• School of Natural and Complementary Medicine
• Australian Centre for Complementary Medicine Education and Research (ACCMER) — a collaboration with the University of Queensland
• Centre for Plant Conservation Genetics
• Centre for Phytochemistry
• School of Environmental Science & Management
• Centre for Ecotechnology
• College of Indigenous Australian Peoples (CIAP)
