Metabolomics Australia - Queensland Node

AIBN hosts the Queensland Node of Metabolomics Australia, part of Bioplatforms Australia.

Integrated within the Systems and Synthetic Biology Group, the Queensland node provides specialised expertise in metabolic engineering directed to understanding and manipulating cellular behaviour at a system level. In addition to conventional metabolomics, AIBN’s facilities are especially set up for metabolic flux analysis, flux balancing and isotopomer modelling.
