Cellular and Functional Genomics

Originating as SCORE (Single-Cell Open Research Endeavour) in 2018 in the laboratory of Dr Shalin Naik, the Cellular Genomics (Projects) team provides single-cell omics, spatial and high-throughput transcriptomics solutions, spanning project design, the application of cutting-edge approaches, and data analysis. Involvement may range from consultations and transactional services to collaborative projects inside and outside WEHI.  

Team members:  

  • Daniela Zalcenstein 
  • Peter Hickey  
  • Daniel Brown  
  • William Ho  
  • Tracey Baldwin  
  • Casey Anttila  
  • Position open (RA, Genomics Projects) 
Sequencing Platforms

The WEHI Genomics Hub was established in 2013 to operate sequencing platforms for the institute, in conjunction with a genomics ‘hotel’, conceived for scientists' access to the specialist facilities and expertise needed to prepare their own samples for analysis.  

Since its inception, more than 500 WEHI scientists and external collaborators have accessed the facility, and the complement of sequencing platforms has grown to include Illumina, PacBio, Oxford Nanopore, and MGI instruments; as a result the team in now looking to expand. 

Team members:

  • Stephen Wilcox  
  • Position open (SRO, Sequencing Bioinformatics – with R&D team) 
  • Position open (RA, Sequencing Platforms) 
Genomics R&D

We are building on our expertise and track record in genomics innovation to expand the reach of our research and development (R&D) team from cellular genomics into other areas of scientific priority for WEHI, including population health and cohort studies, precision medicine and diagnostics, therapeutic discovery and further advanced genomics and sequencing technologies.

We are currently recruiting scientists with something exceptional to offer at the bench, in clinical research and/or with a background in genomics data analysis. 

Team members:

  • Daniel Brown  
  • Rory Bowden  
  • Daniela Zalcenstein  
  • Peter Hickey  
  • Tracey Baldwin  
  • Positions open (RO / SRO, Genomics R&D) 
  • Position open (SRO, Sequencing Bioinformatics – with Sequencing Platforms) 
Pathogen Genomics

Building on our strengths in applying genomics methods to the efficient, high-throughput, unbiased detection and analysis of pathogen genomes, we are setting up projects in diagnostic methods and studies of host-pathogen interactions, with applications in respiratory infection, population health and infectious disease immunology, and infection in immunosuppressed patients. 

We are recruiting a post-doctoral research officer, who will work closely with the lab’s Genomics R&D team.

Team members:

  • Daniel Brown 
  • Rory Bowden  
  • Position open (RO, Pathogen Genomics – with Genomics R&D)
