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.
Over 40 school students and their families visited ANU last sunday for our Discovering Insect Biodiversity workshop as part of National Science Week.
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.
Carlos Melian, EAWAG, Switzerland, will lead a workshop exploring the theoretical foundations and examples of network and multilayer network analysis for biological and ecological systems.
Join keynote speakers Nic Rawlence, University of Otago and Emilio Mármol Sánchez, University of Copenhagen for an exploratory workshop for researchers interested in generating and utilising historical datasets.
Jessica Storer and Rachel O’Neill from the University of Connecticut will give an overview of assembling repetitive parts of the genome, how to check assemblies and curate and annotate the genome for transposable elements.
