The Data Science CRP provides essential expertise in bioinformatics, statistics, biometry, and applied AI, enabling Higher Degree by Research (HDR) students and researchers to harness the full potential of their data.
We support the entire research lifecycle, from initial data collection and management to advanced analysis and visualisation.
Services include access to Subject Matter Experts at salary cost for on-demand support or embedded personnel, collaboration on grant applications, upskilling HDRs and ECRs through training workshops and co-supervision, and ensuring researchers can work effectively with sensitive data.
