If you have suggestions for workshops and visitors over the coming year we encourage you to apply for our Training Support or Visiting Scientist funding. 

Our Synthesis Group and Ignition Grant funding programs will also continue in 2023.

If you’re planning to try new genomic technologies next year, please get in touch with Ecogenomics and Bioinformatics Lab (EBL) Manager Niccy Aitken with any experimental and/or training questions and requirements.

And don’t forget to contact CBA Knowledge Broker Paula Doyle if you are interested in discussing ways to create linkages with policy makers and managers.
