Facility Details

The Bioinformatics Core Facility in the Cancer Research Division at Peter Mac provides a range of services and know-how for data analysis, pipeline management, and artificial intelligence research and operations. The team of bioinformaticians and postdoctoral scientists at the core work alongside laboratory, clinical researchers and other bioinformaticians to contribute to their experimental design, grant applications and the analysis and publication of genomic and transcriptomic data. Data types analysed by the core include whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing, targeted re-sequencing, radiological images, RNA-sequencing, single-cell RNA sequencing, ChIP-sequencing, NanoString and various types of microarray data. The core also develops and maintains software infrastructure required for bioinformatics processing, including pipelines and cloud provision systems. The core is increasing its support in artificial intelligence research and deployment.
