Training a new generation of multi-skilled researchers based on the Centre’s broad range of advanced technologies is a key objective of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Structural & Functional Microbial Genomics. The Centre supports a number of students via full or ‘top-up’ PhD scholarships and strives to foster a highly integrated, team-oriented and multidisciplinary approach to research problems.
