Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) represent a significant global health challenge, affecting millions of children worldwide. Understanding the biological basis of these complex disorders is key to developing treatments, with tools like transcriptomics and proteomics offering valuable molecular insights.
Read MoreAssociate Professor Sarah Auburn, a molecular biologist at Menzies School of Health Research, leads global efforts to combat malaria through genomic surveillance of Plasmodium vivax, leveraging international collaboration and support from AGRF to develop high-throughput genotyping tools that inform targeted interventions in endemic regions.
Read MoreMelanoma is the third most common cancer in Australia, with an average of one person diagnosed every 30 minutes.
Read MoreAGRF, in partnership with CRC-TiME and Indigenous communities, is using genomic technologies to support climate-resilient mine rehabilitation in Australia.
Read MoreSince 2021, AGRF has been a key partner in the Zero Childhood Cancer Program (ZERO), Australia’s first precision medicine initiative for children with cancer. AGRF provides vital multi-omic sequencing data for each child, which helps inform personalised treatment plans.
Read MoreTraditionally plant research has relied on a single reference genome, the field is now advancing toward pangenomics, creating multiple reference genomes to capture the full genetic diversity of a species.
Read MoreWestern Australia is known for its breath-taking landscapes, but behind the scenes, strict biosecurity measures protect its agriculture and environment from pests and pathogens. While quarantine bins and detection dogs at the airport may go unnoticed by most, these defences are vital in keeping the state safe.
Read MoreEpigenetics offers a promising approach to our understanding of how environmental factors can impact gene expression and contribute to the risk of chronic conditions.
Read MoreOver the past two decades, Australian dryland broadacre farms have experienced significant changes in farming practices and climatic conditions, including the introduction of “No Till” farming.
Read MoreAGRF is partnering with SeonixBio to support the development and clinical implementation of a genetic risk prediction test for glaucoma. Assessing genetic risk of developing glaucoma will enable individuals to monitor for symptoms and make treatment decisions.
Read MoreAGRF plays a crucial role by providing genomic sequencing and analysis to patients with upcoming transplant procedures.
Read MoreThe Weedy Seadragon is a camouflaged fish found in the southern temperate waters of Australia from the central NSW coast around the south coast of Australia to south-western WA. Genetic data collected will be important for environmental researchers and ecologists to consider.
Read MoreNative stingless bees, are now recognised not only for their ecological role but also as reservoirs of microbial biodiversity with potential biotechnological applications.
Read MoreAs climate change intensifies environmental pressures, researchers are turning to genetic studies to understand how species adapt to shifting conditions.
Read MoreWestern Australia's stunning and diverse landscapes are home to an incredible array of invertebrate species. To help uncover and document this biodiversity, the innovative WA Bug Barcode Blitz program has emerged. As part of National Science Week, this program engages students and the community in STEM learning experiences and deepen their understanding of global diversity loss.
Read MoreAGRF’s genomic data is helping researchers explore the connections between gut health, gut microbiota and brain health, particularly in relation to stress and depression.
Read More“Our aim is to utilise microorganisms, especially fungi, to capture carbon from the atmosphere and return it to the soil.” Abed Chaudhury.

Read MoreEpigenetics is an exciting and rapidly expanding field in biology that has garnered interest in its applications to human health. It offers a promising approach to our understanding of how environmental factors can impact gene expression and contribute to the risk of chronic conditions.
Read MoreIn the field of genomics, researchers like Dr Amanda Duarte Barbosa are driven by an insatiable curiosity to unravel the mysteries held within the DNA of various organisms. A Senior Lecturer and Researcher at the Vector and Waterborne Pathogens Research Group, Murdoch University, WA, Amanda specialises in the molecular epidemiology of vector-borne pathogens that affect the animal-human-ecosystem interface, and it’s the enigmatic tick that has captured her attention.
Read MoreAGRF proudly supports humanitarian programs and is honoured to assist Deputy Director Iryna Kozeretska of the National Antarctic Scientific Centre of Ukraine, who were awarded a grant from the Australian Academy of Science Ukraine-Australia Research Fund.
