About MIG
Melbourne Integrative Genomics (MIG) is an interdisciplinary initiative of the University of Melbourne
We aim to understand biological systems, with a focus on genomes as the blueprint for each system. We are interested in biological systems of different scales, including molecular systems, cell systems, individuals, host-pathogen interactions, species interactions, and populations. For more details see our Research page.
MIG is co-hosted by the School of BioSciences and School of Mathematics & Statistics. We are supported by the Faculty of Science and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) and work closely with Melbourne Bioinformatics.
