A network of research groups across Australia
The Scientific Programme builds on the strategic alliance with EMBL and its activities in systems biology, whilst capitalising on the specific strengths of Australian life and health sciences.
Research groups are distributed across Australia, but interlinked through the EMBL partnership model and aim to develop complementary expertise. The Scientific Programme builds on the strategic alliance with EMBL and its activities in systems biology, whilst capitalising on the specific strengths of Australian life and health sciences, such as:
EMBL, particularly through EMBL-EBI, also supports the establishment of Bioinformatics Resource Australia. Hosted at the University of Melbourne, this resource aims to provide help and user support covering the bioinformatics services needs of Australian researchers. In addition to enabling optimal exploitation of the tools and data of bioinformatics by Australian scientists and contributing to global bio-molecular information infrastructure showcasing Australian science, the Bioinformatics Resource will offer extensive user training.
Alliances with institutions on or near EMBL sites.
Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) build on and establish new collaborative links.
Fostering close relations and dialogue with scientific communities and government.
