OUR VISION

Advancing Genomic Medicine to​ Reduce the Burden of Disease

Build a research community centered around individuals with multiple genetic ancestries

People with mixed ancestries are often excluded from typical genetic research. Yet such individuals are a growing component of the multi-ethnic Australian population.​

Establish a unique biological resource for future research

Our study will generate new genetic data to help us understand the impact of genetic diversity of human characteristics and diseases.

Improve genetic risk prediction and prevention for everyone

Our study will produce new methods to predict who is more genetically susceptible to chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension.
