🌟 Special Seminar – Announcing the SA Multiomics Framework Initiative Awardees 🌟 We will be hosting a Special Seminar to spotlight the selected research teams from the South Australian Multiomics Framework Initiative, supported by Bioplatforms Australia. This initiative aims to push the boundaries of multiomics research, combining technologies like genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and more to uncover new biological insights across disciplines. November 6th at 3:30 PM in the Adelaide Health and Medical Sciences building, The University of Adelaide. This is a fantastic opportunity to explore their innovative use-cases for omics technologies and learn about the important problems their research aims to tackle.

The Request for Partnership for our Plant Pathogen Initiative has been extended. Remember to submit your applications by COB Friday 18th October 2024. The Bioplatforms Australia-supported Plant Pathogen ‘Omics Initiative was initiated in 2022 and is working to generate a national library of ‘omics data to support the goals and missions of the plant health community in preparing for, managing and mitigating plant disease outbreaks across Australia’s agricultural sectors. The program is generating high quality molecular reference data for priority plant pathogens in Australia. This data is being developed through collaboration with the national plant pathogen community to support: 1. fundamental research and development in plant protection (e.g., understanding the emergence and evolution of pathogens in crop systems, resolving taxonomy and race structure, informing biocide development, etc.) 2. an effective national biosecurity surveillance system (e.g., incursion detection, rapid diagnostics tests, etc.) All the details for the Request for Partnership are here: https://lnkd.in/gkjr8f8T The last day to apply is COB Friday 18th October 2024.

The Australian Wine Research Institute is looking for a new Commercialisation and Translation Manager to join their team! Find more information on the link below, applications close on the 7th of November. https://lnkd.in/gZgY_xPr

This week, Alex Brown attended the Genetic Alliance Australia Annual Forum, hosted by the Hon. David Harris, NSW Minister for Medical Research and Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Treaty. Alex spoke about empowering Indigenous communities in genomics. Bethany Wadling Rosanna (Rose) Senesi Louise Lyons Johanna Barclay ANU NCIG (National Centre for Indigenous Genomics)

Artificial intelligence (AI) and its transformative role in life sciences took centre stage at an event featuring European Bioinformatics Institute | EMBL-EBI Director Prof Ewan Birney and jointly hosted by EMBL Australia and Bioplatforms Australia at the iconic shine dome (The Australian Academy of Science) in Canberra. We also heard from Australian experts Dr Merran Smith & Prof Michael Parker & celebrated 50 years of world-leading science at EMBL. 👉 Read all about it here: bit.ly/4eoBodZ Huge thanks to all those that contributed to the event from Monash University, CSIRO, Bio21 Institute, The Australian National University & the NCRIS Health Group - Phenomics Australia, National Imaging Facility, Population Health Research Network, Therapeutic Innovation Australia #NCRISimpact #AI #artificialintelligence #ausscience #lifesciences

Dr Maddie James is helping to uncover the genetic basis of repeated #adaptation. Maddie is using whole-genome sequencing data from the Australian native wildflower, #Senecio, in combination with large phenotypic datasets to provide insight into how plants adapt to harsh environmental conditions. Maddie is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Plant Success based at The University of Queensland with Prof Daniel Ortiz-Barrientos🌼
