ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Proudly supported by

Genomics WA's infrastructure and operations are made possible through the generous support of our partners.

  • Current partners

    We acknowledge funding from BioPlatforms Australia (BPA), the WA Government's Office of Medical Research and Innovation (OMRI), and the Department of Energy and Economic Diversification (DEED; formerly JTSI), along with our joint venture partners– UWA, Harry Perkins Insitute of Medical Research and The Kids Research Institute Australia.

    This support has enabled Genomics WA's operations and the acquisition of new instrumentation including the NovaSeq X, MiSeq i100 Plus, Chromium, ElysION, PacBio Vega and GPU servers.

  • Initial Foundation support

    In our first term, we were supported by Bioplatforms Australia (BPA), the WA Government’s Office of Medical Research and Innovation (OMRI), and the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation (JTSI), along with our joint venture partners—UWA, the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, and The Kids Research Institute. The Perron Foundation and UWA’s Marshall Centre provided support through the acquisition of the PacBio Sequel II. 

  • Advanced cancer genomics infrastructure

    We gratefully acknowledge the support of the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research and the Australian Cancer Research Foundation for the establishment of the Centre for Advanced Cancer Genomics, which provided access to the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 and the Vizgen MERSCOPE system.

  • Shared platform access

    We acknowledge Curtin University and UWA for providing access to the NextSeq 500 and MiSeq platforms, and The Kids Research Institute Australia for making the MiniSeq, Chromium iX and Zephyr liquid handler available for use by Genomics WA.
