Welcome to the Centre for Biodiversity Analysis
Biodiversity is not static - it is constantly changing. The current patterns of biodiversity we observe today, and work to protect and restore, reflect evolutionary processes, past environmental change and future adaptation potential.
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 technologies in the discovery, understanding, conservation and restoration of Australia’s unique biodiversity in the face of accelerating environmental change.
A CBA initiative that aims to establish the DiversityScanner technology in Australia to advance biodiversity monitoring and discovery using a novel combination of robotics, genomics and AI.
Explore the technical and roundtable workshops offered by the CBA that bring together researchers, professionals, and students to learn and discuss key topics in biodiversity science and management.
Discover CBA grants and funding opportunities at ANU. Support innovative biodiversity research and collaborative projects addressing global ecological challenges through financial and resource assistance.
The EBL is a joint initiative of ANU and CSIRO that seeks to support training, collaboration and cross-pollination.
Explore the impactful research at the Centre. Our work drives biodiversity conservation through innovative science, collaborative partnerships and data-driven solutions to address global ecological challenges.
Peter Crisp and Kimmy Zhang from the University of Queensland presented a workshop on how to cost-effectively identify regulatory regions in large genomes.
The CBA will cover registration and the conference dinner for up to 10 students to attend the joint meeting of the Australasian Evolution Society and the Society of Australian Systematic Biologists.
The Centre for Biodiversity Analysis is pleased to announce a great lineup of interstate and international visitors coming to Canberra in 2026.
Get hands-on with real insect specimens at ANU during National Science Week. Use microscopes, help sort insects collected by researchers, and discover the incredible diversity of Australia's smallest animals.
This workshop will bring Australian researchers, government departments, and policy specialists together with regional partners to explore how pollution from major river systems affects the wider Indian Ocean.
An overview of the best practices for assembling repetitive parts of the genome, how to check assemblies and then curate and annotate the genome for transposable elements.
