EMBL Australia Group Leader Dr Senthil Arumugam has co-launched the Monash BDI Advanced Bioimaging (MAB) platform – a researcher-led, global collaboration hub designed to bring innovative microscopy technologies directly to the researchers who need them.

For more than 15 years, EMBL Australia has focused on attracting the very best emerging scientists from across the globe to Australia and delivering top-quality science, as well as state-of-the-art interdisciplinary training to the next generation of researchers. The return on investment is evident.

Looking ahead, sustained long-term investment into international partnerships is essential for Australia to remain at the forefront of health and science research.

Dr William Roman is one of the EMBL Australia group leaders pioneering groundbreaking technologies to tackle longstanding scientific challenges.

Dr Qi Zhang is one of the EMBL Australia group leaders conducting ambitious, foundational research that paves the way for addressing some of the greatest health challenges in modern medicine.

Associate Professor Robert Weatheritt exemplifies how Australia’s EMBL membership attracts top-tier global talent, fosters valuable international collaborations and positions Australia at the forefront of life sciences research.

Among the EMBL Australia group leaders who have successfully secured significant philanthropic funding is A/Prof Michelle Boyle, an emerging leader in malaria research at the Burnet Institute.

EMBL Australia researchers Dr Qi Zhang, Prof Eduardo Eyras and Daisy Kavanagh recently joined scientists from around the globe at the 5th EMBL Partnership Conference at EMBL Heidelberg to explore the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in life sciences.

We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Professor Jose Polo as the new Scientific Head of EMBL Australia.
