Research Highlights

Global climate change data provides unique insights about our changing environment over long time-scales, and helps us plan for the future. The international climate change data set CMIP6 is a

When genes and proteins inside a cell are damaged, it can result in diseases such as cancers, diabetes and obesity. Understanding exactly how this damage affects DNA is key to understanding and

Researchers from The Australian National University, along with international colleagues, have used a combination of ocean modelling and genetic data to transform our understanding of Antarctica's

Researchers are using new gene sequencing technology alongside high-performance computing at NCI to understand the genetics of one of the world's most devastating plant diseases: wheat stripe rust

Researchers from the new ARC Centre of Excellence in Climate Extremes are leveraging NCI's huge supercomputing power to perform world-leading ocean simulations. They are using more than 500 computer

One of NCI's expert staff has helped to make a significant new discovery about the way molecules can take shape. This method through which molecules arrange their atoms and change shape promises to

Inside every atom in the universe, forces are pushing and pulling to keep the atom's fundamental building blocks stuck together, interacting to preserve a delicate energy balance that enables stars to

NCI's partnership with the Bureau of Meteorology continues to lead to improvements to Australia's national weather prediction models. Visualisations of the data output from the recently enhanced

In late 2016, biologists from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research and The Australian National University's John Curtin School of Medical Research took 1,206 human genomes, and in one night of

A researcher from The Australian National University has modelled the activity of six common pharmaceutical drugs used in pain relief, anaesthetics and epilepsy treatments using the NCI supercomputer
