Black Ochre Data Labs is a multidisciplinary research team working to
reduce health inequality through the power of genomics. With the use of
genomic technologies, we can look at our DNA for answers about health
conditions like Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), heart disease and cancer. With
this new knowledge we hope to understand why some people and families
develop these conditions more than others, or why they might develop
more severe complications. We can use this information to develop
Precision Medicine approaches to improve patient care and health
outcomes.
The group was established in 2022 under the leadership of Professor Alex Brown and is jointly funded by the Telethon Kids Institute and Australian National University.
The team is located in the Tarndanya/Adelaide (Kaurna Country) and
Boorloo/Perth (Whadjuk Noongar Country) offices of the Telethon Kids
Institute.
