Give to UOW
Breakthroughs need sustained support. They need researchers with the time to ask bold questions, the tools to test new ideas and the resources to keep promising work moving.
Your generosity helps make that possible, backing research and innovation with the potential to improve lives, strengthen communities and create a better future.
A tax-deductible gift to UOW's Research and Innovation Fund backs discovery across multiple disciplines — giving researchers the support they need to pursue promising questions, seize emerging opportunities, and turn ideas into real world impact for communities locally and globally.
Pancreatic cancer remains one of the deadliest cancers. Your support will equip UOW’s Molecular Horizons researchers to develop smarter drug delivery and targeted approaches, leading to faster treatment, fewer side effects, and improved quality of life.
Infectious disease and sepsis are life threatening and preventable. Your support today will empower researchers at UOW’s Molecular Horizons to accelerate drug development for infections like StrepA, enable earlier sepsis diagnosis and move proven solutions into care.
Help UOW change the future of Motor Neurone Disease (MND). Your gift honours the legacy of late Professor Justin Yerbury, powering the Yerbury Lab to deliver earlier diagnosis and new therapies for people living with MND.
Support UOW's iAccelerate, where founders test and scale ventures that create employment. Your gift removes barriers, enabling more underrepresented entrepreneurs to turn bright ideas into thriving companies.
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, donations are directly fuelling groundbreaking research in the Yerbury Lab. Uncovering causes of MND and developing new diagnostics and treatments. In the past year, gifts have helped us retain researchers who worked side by side with Justin, advance novel targeted therapies, identify promising molecular targets and accelerate tools that could one day enable earlier detection. Donations also help us purchase critical materials and access to equipment.
Over $790,000 was raised for research and innovation at UOW last year. Through the Research and Innovation Fund, donors have helped researchers pursue critical questions, respond to emerging challenges, and move discovery closer to the people who need it most.
Every gift — regardless of size — is part of the same story: a story of generosity, curiosity, and the belief that better answers are worth backing.
