AGTA 2024

AGTA is a not-for-profit association and registered charity dedicated to advancing and promoting the field of genomics and genomic technologies in Australasia. It is the principal body for the promotion of genomics research in Australasia and draws on the astounding breadth of genomics research and technology development across Australasia.
