Associate Professor Bastien Llamas

Honorary Research Associate

Prestigious honour for Indigenous Genomics leader

Trailblazing Aboriginal doctor and health researcher Professor Alex Brown has been made a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) in recognition of his leadership in ensuring Indigenous peoples are at the forefront of genomics efforts nationally and internationally.

Powerful new network to ensure Indigenous Australians can benefit from genomic medicine

A national alliance of the brightest minds in genomic science, academia, policy makers, industry and Indigenous leaders will work to break down barriers to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people can benefit from advances in genomic medicine if they choose.

Prestigious fellowship for pioneering researcher

Aleksandra Filipovska has been elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences.

National network to significantly improve health outcomes for Indigenous Australians

A new national network will be established to advance the benefits from Genomic Medicine for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in Australia.

Unlocking the benefit of genomics for Indigenous Australians

Scientific discoveries over the past 30 years mean doctors now have a deeper understanding of what causes disease and how those diseases might progress.

Benchmarking Imputed Low Coverage Genomes in a Human Population Genetics Context

Ongoing advances in population genomic methodologies have recently enabled the study of millions of loci across hundreds of genomes at a relatively low cost, by leveraging a combination of low-coverage shotgun sequencing and innovative genotype imputation methods. This approach has the potential to provide abundant genotype information at low costs comparable to another widely used cost-effective genotyping approach-that is, SNP panels-while avoiding potential issues related to loci being ascertained in distantly related populations.

Draft genome sequences of the pathogenic fungi Scedosporium aurantiacum and Scedosporium apiospermum from clinical isolates

Scedosporium species are filamentous fungi with inherent broad antifungal resistance that pose opportunistic infection threats. We present draft genome assemblies of S. aurantiacum (11 contigs) and S. apiospermum (9 contigs), derived from Oxford Nanopore sequencing of one Australian clinical isolate each.

Deciphering IGH rearrangement complexity and detection strategies in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia

Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is a highly heterogeneous malignancy characterised by various genomic alterations that influence disease progression and therapeutic outcomes. Gene fusions involving the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene represent a complex and diverse category.
