About the Centre
The Phenomics and Bioinformatics Research Centre (PBRC) was established in 2008 as a joint initiative of the School of Mathematics and Statistics and the Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics (ACPFG) with the vision of being an international leader at the intersection of mathematics, computer science, and biology.
The PBRC brings together world-class researchers from diverse research backgrounds to address critical problems in biological science and engineering at the molecular and phenotypic levels. Our research spans multiple disciplines and application areas, drawn together by the underlying theme of applying advanced mathematical, statistical, and computational techniques to understanding and manipulating living systems.
The PBRC forms one of the four nodes of the ACPFG and receives support from numerous sponsors, including the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, the Generation Challenge Programme, and the University of South Australia.
