How predicting the molecular impact of every possible single-letter DNA variant in the human genome will help accelerate our understanding of biology.

Four Garvan researchers have been awarded Investigator Grants from the National Health and Medical Research Council, supporting research that spans genomic medicine, population genomics and immunogenomics.

New support enables more researchers to unlock the genetic basis of rare diseases, helping families find answers faster.

Building improved genomic tools and more representative data to accelerate answers for families.

A newly developed open-source tool designed for rigorous reanalysis of genomic data is highly effective at detecting new rare disease diagnoses. And the tool’s ability to frequently and automatically reexamine stored DNA data will ensure more timely answers for hundreds of families.

AI leader Anthropic has announced a significant investment in Garvan research to scale up the Institute's genomics research and accelerate the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) has partnered with AI company Anthropic to accelerate discoveries into genetic and childhood heart diseases.

The Arab Council Australia, in partnership with OurDNA, hosted a community dinner and information evening on Thursday, 26 March 2026, at Al Aseel Restaurant.

Genomic medicine is a fast-emerging field, but many multicultural communities may miss out on the benefits.

A royal visit highlighting increasing collaboration between Pasifika communities and genetic medicine initiatives.

A new project will enhance representation in genomics research.

The leader of the Centre for Population Genomics has been internationally recognised for transformative contributions to global genomic research.

The project aims to assist in better diagnosis, treatment, and care for rare diseases.

Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) Professor Daniel MacArthur and Dr Sylvia Metcalfe have been recognised on the international stage for their wide-reaching achievements in genetics.

A program to ensure that powerful new genomic medicine technologies are available to all Australians is now recruiting participants from diverse communities, the SXSW Sydney conference will hear today.

The OurDNA flagship project has received Medical Research Future Fund support to include underrepresented Australian populations.

The Australian Government has granted nearly $8 million in MRFF funding to the Centre for Population Genomics to investigate safer use of advanced analytics, including AI technology.

Director Daniel MacArthur joins a panel discussion on the genomic transformation of medicine at SXSW Sydney 2024.

MacArthur will present his vision for equitable genomic medicine at population-scale in Australia.

The first large-scale genomics resource designed to improve the representation of culturally and linguistically diverse Australian communities has received a significant boost, thanks to a $10 million grant from the Federal Government’s Medical Research Future Fund. The initiative seeks to improve disease prediction, diagnosis and treatment for Australian communities currently under-represented in genomic medical research.
