Genomics Aotearoa

Who, and what, is Genomics Aotearoa?

Genomics Aotearoa is a collaborative research platform which brings researchers together to focus on genomics and bioinformatics projects. Projects are organsied under the three themes of Health, Environment, and Primary Production and are underpinned by a focus on bioinformatics and Te Ao Māori. Government-funded through the Strategic Science Investment Fund, Genomics Aotearoa aims to grow and develop our country’s research capabilities while carrying out cutting edge research. Genomics Aotearoa endeavours to be an inclusive environment, and strives to put Te Ao Māori (the Māori worldview) at the core of our research and training.

You can learn more about Genomics Aotearoa, including details about the research Projects and highlights of our recent work stories, on our main page.

What is the training programme?

The training programme is part of the Bioinformatics Capability Project, a Genomics Aotearoa initiative committed to is building capability and capacity in the fields of bioinformatics and genomics. The Bioinformatics Training Programme works within the broad remit of upskilling researchers in Aotearoa.
