On Tuesday, 21 October, we celebrate the fascinating world of the microbiome — the trillions of microbes that live in and around us, shaping our health, environment, and future. From gut health to soil ecosystems, microbiome research is driving breakthroughs in human wellbeing, sustainable agriculture, and global food security.

At AGRF, we’re proud to support researchers across Australia and beyond with world-class genomics services to explore the microbiome, uncover new discoveries, and translate them into real-world impact.

Join us at one of our upcoming sessions in Melbourne or Brisbane to connect with our experts, discuss everything microbiome (and beyond), and explore how genomics is transforming healthcare, agriculture, and environmental sustainability.

AI-Enhanced Drug Discovery Symposium hosted at the University of Sydney. The event will bring together leading voices from research, industry, and government to explore how AI is transforming drug discovery from enabling infrastructure and omics to regulatory frameworks and commercialisation.

The EnCouRage Research Symposium is an annual event hosted by the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences at Macquarie University. The aim of this event is to showcase emerging and groundbreaking research conducted by postgraduate and early career researchers (ECR) within the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences at Macquarie University. Bringing together talent from over six departments, this event offers an exceptional platform for researchers to showcase their work, connect with senior academics and peers from other disciplines, and engage with our esteemed sponsors. With over 100 attendees in previous years, the symposium has proven to be an outstanding platform for cross-disciplinary networking. Notably, collaborations sparked during past events have resulted in successful grant applications and the continued development of interdisciplinary projects among participants.
