In recent years, the university has been prominent in medical research. A highlight of this came in 2000, when [[Alan Trounson]] led the team of scientists which announced to the world that nerve stem cells could be derived from embryonic stem cells, a discovery which led to a dramatic increase in interest in the potential of [[stem cells]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.legislation.vic.gov.au/domino/Web_Notes/newmedia.nsf/798c8b072d117a01ca256c8c0019bb01/773344f4c4f794baca25714e0005c518!OpenDocument |title=Victoria to Host Key Seminars at BIO2006 |date=10 April 2006 |access-date=1 April 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090623161914/http://www.legislation.vic.gov.au/domino/Web_Notes/newmedia.nsf/798c8b072d117a01ca256c8c0019bb01/773344f4c4f794baca25714e0005c518!OpenDocument |archive-date=23 June 2009}}</ref> It has also led to Monash being ranked in the top 20 universities in the world for biomedicine.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.armi.org.au/about_us/news/in_the_media/monashacademictoheadvictoriasregenerativemedicineinstitute.aspx |title=Monash academic to head Victoria's Regenerative Medicine Institute |work=Monash Memo |publisher=Monash University |date=9 May 2007 |access-date=16 August 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130511174914/http://www.armi.org.au/About_Us/news/In_the_media/MonashacademictoheadVictoriasRegenerativeMedicineInstitute.aspx |archive-date=11 May 2013 |df=dmy-all}}</ref>

Since December 2011, Monash has had a global alliance with the [[University of Warwick]] in the United Kingdom.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/about/partnerships/monash/ |title=Monash Warwick Alliance |access-date=11 March 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121018153921/http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/about/partnerships/monash/ |archive-date=18 October 2012 |df=dmy-all}}</ref>

In 2014, the university ceded its [[Monash University, Gippsland campus|Gippsland]] campus to [[Federation University Australia|Federation University]].<ref>{{Cite news |title=Ballarat University set to take over Monash Gippsland |url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-02-22/ballarat-university-set-to-take-over-monash-gippsland/4533714 |publisher=[[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]] |date=22 February 2013 |access-date=1 November 2013 |archive-date=3 November 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131103051448/http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-02-22/ballarat-university-set-to-take-over-monash-gippsland/4533714 |url-status=live}}</ref> On 15 July 2016, Monash confirmed that Federation University Australia would take over the operations of the Berwick campus prior to the end of 2018.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://federation.edu.au/news?announcement_id=21311&action=view_announcement |title=Newsroom |date=24 March 2021 |access-date=10 December 2017 |archive-date=30 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180630064448/http://federation.edu.au/news?action=view_announcement&announcement_id=21311 |url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2019, the university sold its [[Monash South Africa]] campus to [[ADvTECH Group|Advtech]]. Students who were on schedule to complete their degree on time would still receive a degree from Monash University after the sale. The reason for the sale was reported to be low profitability and low enrolment numbers.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.businessinsider.co.za/monash-university-pulling-out-of-south-africa-with-advtech-acquisition-2018-9 |title=Australia's biggest university, Monash, is pulling out of South Africa after 18 years |website=BusinessInsider |access-date=12 November 2019 |archive-date=12 November 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191112041814/https://www.businessinsider.co.za/monash-university-pulling-out-of-south-africa-with-advtech-acquisition-2018-9 |url-status=live}}</ref> Prior to the sale, Monash University had sidelined the South African campus on its official websites and did not refer to it as a 'campus' unlike Monash Malaysia.

Monash announced its second Southeast Asian expansion in Indonesia as it officially obtained its operational license from the [[Ministry of Education and Culture (Indonesia)|Ministry of Education and Culture]] on 1 December 2020. The university plans to open its campus doors in October 2021, located in [[BSD City]], Tangerang, Banten. Unlike Monash Malaysia, Monash Indonesia will focus on graduate studies.<ref>{{cite web |last=Wuragil |first=Zacharias |date=1 December 2020 |title=Kampus Monash Indonesia Kantongi Izin Operasional dari Mendikbud Nadiem |url=https://tekno.tempo.co/read/1410354/kampus-monash-indonesia-kantongi-izin-operasional-dari-mendikbud-nadiem |access-date=2 December 2020 |website=Tempo |language=en |archive-date=30 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201130203133/https://tekno.tempo.co/read/1410354/kampus-monash-indonesia-kantongi-izin-operasional-dari-mendikbud-nadiem |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Nusantara |first=Solusi Sistem |title=Kabar Baik!
