As with our previous years' calls for collaborative project proposals, we again received many excellent applications for GIH projects from researchers across UQ. We'd like to thank all the applicants and acknowledge the effort and time it takes in preparing project proposals.
After the difficult task of selecting from these applications the relatively few projects to proceed with, we are now excited to officially announce our new collaborative projects and lead researchers for 2022! We look forward to starting these projects soon and all the genomic and genetic developments that will arise from these diverse research areas.
