MA-The University of Melbourne
The Victorian node is the MA hub node, located at the School of Botany and the Bio21 Institute, at The University of Melbourne. The focus of UoM-MA is metabolite analyses, profiling, metabolomics and biomarker discovery in any biological system. Its role is to provide metabolomic analyses services to Australian research and industrial community, including the development of new technologies for the determination of metabolites. In addition, the Melbourne node is responsible for the development of bioinformatics applications for seamless metabolomics data analysis and interpretation.
MA-The Australian Wine Research Institute
The South Australian node of MA is located at, and managed by, The Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI), on the Waite Precinct, Urrbrae. AWRI-MA provides a wide range of metabolomic analyses, from global fingerprinting to fully targeted metabolite analysis. With a platform designed to detect metabolites from several chemical classes and sample matrices the AWRI-MA is committed to developing and providing analyses on a broad range of biological species, with particular expertise in microbial metabolomics.
MA-University of Western Australia
The UWA node is located in the Molecular and Chemical Sciences Building on the Crawley campus. It is managed by the Centre of Excellence for Plant Metabolomics and the ARC Centre of Excellence in Plant Energy Biology. It offers GC and LC-based approaches for both targeted and non-targeted metabolite analysis and serves all areas of the biosciences including plant, microbial, biomedical, and environmental sciences.
MA-University of Queensland
The Queensland node of MA is located at The Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN), St Lucia Campus/ University of Queensland. This node is especially set up for metabolic flux analysis, featuring flux balancing and isotopomer modelling. Standard protocol GC-MS metabolomics is also available.
MA-Murdoch University
The Murdoch node of MA is managed by the Separation Science Laboratory and the Australian Centre for Necrotrophic Fungal Pathogens at Murdoch University, on its South Street campus. Murdoch specializes in high resolution mass spectrometry, sample preparation techniques and also has a suite of complementary GC- and LC-MS geometries. These capabilities facilitate both targeted and non-targeted studies on a broad range of tissue types from microbial to human.
