Centres we are associated with

We are not a unit of any of these. We work alongside them, supplying the measurement and modelling layer their programmes build on.

The University of Western Australia

Australian Centre for RNA Therapeutics in Cancer

The ACRTC develops RNA therapeutics for cancer. We are associated with the centre and supply the RNA measurement and modelling layer that its programmes build on.
