Genetic variation is essential for survival; it allows species to adapt and evolve so they can overcome disease and other environmental threats, and avoid the negative consequences of inbreeding.

Bio21 researchers from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, including the Tilley, van Driel, McConville, Gleeson and Hinde labs made a good showing, presenting their work and collecting awards for their presentations.

Novel technology discovered at University of Melbourne has the potential to transform the management of cancer

Congratulations to Kat Holt, Spencer Williams and Eric Reynolds upon receiving NHMRC funding.

For a week in June, I was no longer a student bound by books and constantly in a classroom setting. Instead, I had become a research scientist at Bio21, surrounded by million-dollar cutting-edge biotechnology.

Today an MOU was signed between the University of Melbourne and the University of Zagreb to facilitate research collaboration and PhD pathways.

Bio21 is open on Saturday & Sunday this weekend as part of the City of Melbourne's 'Open House' weekend.
