The Genomics Revolution in Health
Genomics is revolutionising the way we predict, diagnose, and treat health conditions across our lifecycles. This revolution will completely transform healthcare in the coming years.

About the Centre of Population Genomics
Launched in 2020, the Centre for Population Genomics (CPG) is a partnership between two leading global institutes in genomics headquartered in Australia: the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute in Melbourne; and the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney.
Led by Professor Daniel MacArthur, CPG will advance genomic medicine by establishing a critical mass of expertise in massive-scale genomics, developing population genomics tools and resources, and carrying out transformative scientific projects in three key areas: Genetic Diversity, Rare Disease and Gene Function.
- Genetic Diversity: discovering the full range of genetic variations present in Australian communities; providing long-term impact on equitable genomic medicine.
- Rare Disease: building and deploying tools for the diagnosis of rare genetic disorders; delivering major immediate clinical impact.
- Gene Function: bringing genetic data together with clinical and genomic data sets to understand the impact of variation on gene function and human health; creating both immediate scientific impact and long-term impact on therapeutic development.
