For science to advance in big leaps, you need people who not only have a mind for the detail, but also the big picture, and the passion to make big things happen. We talk with a researcher who has big goals to bring equity and diversity into genomic medicine in Australia, something surprisingly inadequate presently. Professor Daniel MacArthur is Director of the Centre for Population Genomics, a joint initiative between the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, and the Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI).

About Garvan Institute of Medical Research

Garvan Institute of Medical Research brings together world-leading researchers and clinicians, collaborating locally and globally, to improve human health. Our mission is to harness the information encoded in our genome to better diagnose, treat, predict and prevent disease. 

Our researchers are pioneering discoveries across diseases that have the deepest impact on the community, from the individual patient with rare disease, to the many thousands affected by complex, widespread illnesses.   

We value our strong partnerships, most notably as a member of the St Vincent's Health Innovation Precinct, and as a close collaborator with UNSW Sydney.
