ACEBB New Directions Launch 2009

The Australian Centre for Evolutionary Biology and Biodiversity (ACEBB) is arguably the top research group of its type in Australia.  Its success has been underpinned by strong collaborative relationships between the SA Museum, State Herbarium and Bioknowledge, South Australian DEH and the University of Adelaide.  Through combining the strengths of these institutions, ACEBB has created facilities and expertise that are seen as the best practice model in Australia.

ACEBB aims to build upon the Centre's traditional expertise in systematics and evolutionary biology to embrace new developments in genomic, bioinformatic and analytical techniques and further develop the nationally leading research profile of the group.  The Centre is uniquely placed in Australia to develop this area of research and provide national leadership.

The ACEBB Launch took place on 4th December at the National Wine Centre, where the director of ACEBB, Prof. Andrew Lowe and others celebrated the successes of ACEBB in taxonomic and ecological studies in Australia and heared about the Centre's exciting plans for the future.  Listen to Andrew Lowe's vision for the future of ACEBB below.
