The Centre for Biodiversity Analysis
Biodiversity science in the 21st century is undergoing a revolution. Innovative capabilities in genomics and advances in bioinformatics and spatial modelling have increased exponentially in recent years.
The Centre for Biodiversity Analysis (CBA) is a collaborative initiative of the ANU, CSIRO and University of Canberra that connects scientists and their research to exploit new and emerging capabilities in the discovery, understanding and conservation of Australia’s unique biodiversity.
