Generation Victoria (GenV)

(PI: Professor Melissa Wake, Murdoch Children’s Research Institute)

GenV is Australia’s largest child and parent research project. Every Victorian family with a child born October 2021 to October 2023 can join (see here). It aims to advance health and wellbeing in smarter and faster ways, in areas like preterm birth, mental illness, obesity, learning and allergies. GenV’s size and diversity can help show how environment and genome (genetics) shape a person’s characteristics and outcomes. This will improve how we treat, predict and prevent many problems, and help policymakers make good decisions to support all families. GenV hopes to study child and adult health and well-being over many years. The CPG is collaborating with GenV by leading their Human Genetics Working Group.

The Centre for Population Genomics is a national initiative, jointly housed at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research and the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute. We work all across the country and collaborate with partners internationally and in Australia.

Careers

At CPG, we celebrate and respect diversity in our team and our work. We believe that including all human diversity in genomic research will empower medical care that benefits everyone.

We acknowledge the First Australian peoples on whose traditional lands we live and work across the country and pay our respects to their elders past, present and emerging. We gratefully accept the invitation in the Uluru Statement from the Heart “to walk with us in a movement of the Australian people for a better future”.
