Australian Venom Research

Australian Venom Research focuses on studying the venom produced by native animals like snakes, spiders, and jellyfish to understand their biochemical properties. This research aims to discover new medicines, such as painkillers and treatments for diseases, by analyzing how venom components affect the body. It also helps improve safety measures for people working with these animals and develops antivenoms for bites and stings. Conducted by scientists in labs and field studies across Australia, this research combines biology, chemistry, and medicine to unlock the potential of venom for both public health and scientific advancement.
