OUR APPROACH

Bioplatforms Australia supports biomedical and human health research in Australia by leveraging the cutting-edge integrated technologies operated across the national laboratory and bioinformatics network. These technologies enable the generation of large-scale (usually population level) data resources and secure data sharing solutions required to advance the understanding and treatment of complex diseases and conditions spanning cancers, cardiovascular diseases, antimicrobial resistance as well as health related functions associated with gut metabolites and microbiomes. 

Bioplatforms contribution aims to bolster the research agenda’s supported through the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and the Australian Department of Health and Aged Care’s Research Missions, primarily delivered by the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF). Deploying the national omics laboratory network in support of these agenda’s increases the research capacity and acceleration in data creation and management across genomics, proteomic and metabolomic data. This supercharged effort in omics data aids researchers and healthcare professionals to advance medical knowledge, development of precision treatments and effective healthcare interventions for all Australians.

PARTNERSHIPS

Our collaborations extend across a wide range of nationally significant research initiatives, including Australian Research Council (ARC) Centres of Excellence, ARC Industry Transformation Research Hubs, ARC Training Centres, Medical Research Futures Fund (MRFF) support research, the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) supported research, Cooperative Research Centres (CRC), and National Environmental Science Program Hubs (NESP). These partnerships drive transformative research that advances fundamental scientific knowledge, while facilitating research translation and innovation across both government and industry-funded programs.
