We’re also home to research centres such as the Melbourne Integrative Genomics initiative.

Professional networks

All students participate in a range of activities supported by organisations such as the Australian Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Society, Melbourne Bioinformatics, EMBL-ABR, and the bioinformatics student society COMBINE, which have been established to help nurture the careers of people wanting to work in this sector.
