Gene Technology Access Centre (GTAC)

Gene Technology Access Centre (GTAC) logoGene Technology Access Centre (GTAC), named for the letters of the genetic code, is an innovative science education initiative partnered between us, the Department of Microbiology and Immunology of the University of Melbourne and the University High School.

Its purpose-designed facilities at University High School, completed in 2004, were built with generous support from the Victorian Government and philanthropy - the Colonial Foundation, Dame Elisabeth Murdoch and the Pratt Foundation.

GTAC delivers world class education programs in cell and molecular biology for Victorian students (from year 5 through to year 12) and their teachers, through laboratory courses, special workshops and professional development lecture courses.
