We would like to welcome Professor Ute Roessner to Phenomics Australia’s team. Ute brings a wealth of experience in the development and application of metabolomics in biotechnology, risk management and NCRIS leadership to our team. Her insights will help fulfilling Phenomics Australia’s vision of better health through the discovery of gene function.
Meet Ute
