Industry

ANSTO has developed a unique set of facilities and expertise that support the requirements of a range of market sectors.

Advanced manufacturing and materials

ANSTO’s suite of infrastructure and capabilities is ideally suited for solving problems relating to the development and characterisation of advanced materials, and the engineering of manufactured components and processes.

Defence and aerospace

Research and development stakeholders underpin defence needs. ANSTO provides sovereign R&D infrastructure and capability that assists all stakeholders in defence research and translation of the outcomes of that research into products and services supporting defence activity.

Energy and resources

ANSTO’s suite of infrastructure and capabilities is ideally suited for solving problems relating to the characterisation and in-depth analysis of materials for energy applications. Determining a material's structure and function, as well as the behaviour of systems while in operation, allows for a detailed understanding of key mechanisms.

Environment

ANSTO's capabilities and expertise using nuclear and isotopic techniques can address some of Australia’s and the world’s most challenging environmental problems, focusing on water resource sustainability, climate change, and the impact of contaminants.

Health

ANSTO’s unique capabilities and expertise in the detection, diagnosis and treatment of disease using nuclear and accelerator infrastructure are used for the development of therapeutics and vaccines. ANSTO offers a complete portfolio of services, including production of radioisotopes, radiotracers, radiopharmaceuticals and GMP supply into clinical trials.

Our People

Our people include expert scientists, engineers and technicians who are actively engaged with industrial and translational research, collaborating with the best and brightest of Australia. Collaboration and connection is key to the best translational research outcomes.

ANSTO has strong academic and commercial connections with all the publically funded research organisations currently supporting the delivery of goods, services and advice to the defence sector in Australia.
