Program in Complex Trait Genomics
The Program in Complex Trait Genomics at IMB, University of Queensland, focuses on understanding individual differences caused by genetic factors, especially in complex traits and disorders. Their research involves developing analytical methods and tools for genomic data, with applications in psychiatric, neurological, and cognitive aging genomics. They aim to translate research into clinical applications and collaborate internationally, supported by funding from the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council and the University of Queensland.
