Research Officer

The Oncofetal Ecosystem lab is involved in research at the intersection of cancer genomics and immunology and is committed to the development of next generation of medical therapies. The research in the laboratory involves cutting edge single-cell and spatial transcriptomics technologies, bioinformatics, machine learning and innovative approaches for mRNA...

The Garvan Institute of Medical Research brings together world leading researchers and clinicians, collaborating locally and globally, to improve human health. Our mission is to harness all the information encoded in our genome to better diagnose, treat, predict and prevent disease. From the individual patient with rare disease, to the many thousands...

The Transplantation Immunology Laboratory has a strong focus on understanding how genetic variation in immune control gene impacts our health, our response to infection and disease susceptibility and cancer. The Transplant Immunology Laboratory utilises functional genomics approaches to show how genetic diversity in the master inflammatory regulator gene ...

The Powell Lab’s research is focused on using human genetics to uncover how disease arises at the level of individual cells and develop new treatments and strategies to improve patients’ health and well-being. The lab comprises a diverse group of computational and wet-lab scientists working collaboratively with national and international research and...

The Immunology & Immunodeficiency Lab is led by Prof Stuart Tangye and is focussed on understanding the molecular and cellular requirements necessary for generating successful immune responses following infection and/or vaccination and how these processes are disrupted by specific genetic defects. Specifically, we study individuals with immune diseases such...

Garvan’s 2030: Discoveries to Impact Strategy is designed to galvanise Garvan’s researchers, professional staff, partners, donors and community around our vision of _Global leadership in discoveries to impact_, and to enable us as an Institute to deliver on that vision - such that Garvan becomes an institute where research discoveries are taken through...

The Garvan Institute of Medical Research brings together world-leading clinicians and basic and translational researchers to break down barriers between traditional scientific disciplines and find solutions to disease. Garvan is entering the implementation phase of a major strategic planning process - Garvan 2030: Discoveries to Impact. The new strategy is...

The Skeletal Diseases Program (co-led by Profs Mike Rogers and Jacqueline Center) is one of six new strategic research programs at the Garvan Institute. This multi-disciplinary team consists of laboratory-based and clinical researchers working together, with national and international partners, to address major challenges in bone health, with a specific...

The Genomic Medicine Lab (led by A/Prof Owen Siggs) is a dynamic team with expertise in clinical medicine, genomics, and computational biology. The foundation of all of our research is genomics, which we use to better diagnose, predict, and treat disease. We have key expertise in diseases of inflammation, and blindness, where we perform high-quality genomic...

The Clinical Genomics Laboratory (led by A/Prof Jodie Ingles) aims to find ways to use genomics and genetic counselling to equitably improve care, clarify diagnosis, refine risk information for families with genetic cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular diseases affecting children and young people often have underlying genetic causes. Gaps in our knowledge...

The Australian Genomic Cancer Medicine Program (AGCMP) encompasses several cohort studies to improve the understanding, early detection, prevention and management of cancer. This includes the Molecular Screening and Therapeutics (MoST) study which is recruiting patients at multiple sites in Australia. A Research Support Officer is required to primarily be...

THE OPPORTUNITY This role will suit a postdoctoral fellow with training and/or experience in both immunology/cell biology and advanced computational techniques. Applicants ranging from new PhD graduates to experienced fellows are encouraged to apply. The fellow will become a member of Garvan’s large community of immunologists and computational...

The Neurotranscriptomics Laboratory at the Garvan Institute is at the forefront of integrating RNA biology with advanced computational and molecular techniques to unlock the mysteries of neurodegenerative disorders. Our cutting-edge research team comprises a dynamic mix of expert bioinformaticians and skilled molecular biologists, fostering a highly...

The Opportunity COVID19 has killed at least six million people in two years and shows little evidence of abating. To end the pandemic, we need to develop ‘universal’ vaccines generating protective antibodies that prevent infection and viral transmission and are resistant to not just current but also future variants. We have secured a funding to further...
