I cannot solve the entire problem, but I can provide part of the solution.”

A typical day includes dog walks, tea, PhD project, event organisation, committee meetings, and sports (buhurt) training. “I compete at a national and international level.”

One thing they wished people understood:
“People outside science assume I am magically going to cure aging. Solutions in medicine do not happen overnight; they take years of research, money and hard work before the solution is tested through rigorous trials, perfected and then implemented

BB spotlight: Episode #2

Today’s spotlight is on a PhD candidate at QUT who works in Genomics.

Their research aims to identify:
“...the genetic and environmental determinants of biological age acceleration and related diseases. I primarily work with the Norfolk Island Health Study cohort…”

Our speakers have different research areas:
* immunotherapy using single-cell whole transcriptomics &&
* a user-centred redesign and functional enhancement of the arachnid toxin web database.

Mark your calendars for the 18th of February, 1pm Brisbane time.

BB Spotlight: Episode #1

As part of our mission to showcase bioinformaticians across Brisbane, we asked the community what they do and what their work is really like.

Today’s feature is on @qishengpan.bsky.social.
Role 🖥️: Postdoc at UQ

And on 17th of July, we’ll have a Brisbane Bioinformatics career day at the same venue.

The date is set. The venue is set. This is happening.

More details coming soon. But in the meantime, mark your calendars.

A save-the-date for you:

On July 13, 2026, we’ll have the first-of its-kind Brisbane Bioinformatics Showcase at the Translational Research Institute in Woolloongabba. Can you imagine all Brisbie Binfies in the same room?

Let’s build a local map of who’s actually here.

Roll call...

If you’re based in Brisbane and work in:
🧬 genomics
🧬 transcriptomics
📊 biological data science
🏥 clinical / translational data
🧪 wet–dry hybrid research

A lot of bioinformatics work happens in Brisbane, across universities, clinic, government, startups, etc., but much of it stays invisible outside immediate circles.

Brisbane Bioinformatics exists to surface that work.

📌 Keep an eye on this space, and share with colleagues who may be interested.
