The New South Wales Systems Biology Initiative (SBI) was established in 2008, funded by the New South Wales Office for Science and Medical Research (OSMR) and the University of New South Wales.
Our mission is to become Australia’s foremost centre for Systems Biology, undertaking basic and applied research in the development and application of bioinformatics for genomics and proteomics.
This will be achieved by:
- providing collaborative bioinformatics expertise and services to users of NCRIS-funded genomic and proteomic facilities
- building critical mass in bioinformatics and systems biology in NSW by recruiting and training expert personnel
- developing new tools and technology in bioinformatics and systems biology, and make these available to users of NCRIS-funded and other relevant facilities
We are affiliated with the Ramaciotti Centre for Gene Function Analysis, the Australian Proteome Analysis Facility (APAF) and the Bioanalytical Mass Spectrometry Facility (BMSF).
We are also a member of Bioplatforms Australia.
