In recent research, the technical capability of wholly Australian-owned bioinformatics start-up, 23Strands, to decipher big data about genomics is revolutionising scientific research in women’s health. 23Strands’ work in genomics was linked with known molecular pathways for endometriosis to identify key genes associated with the disease.
Press Release
Sydney-based biotech start-up, 23Strands to play an integral and leading role in researching the benefit of genomic medicine to Indigenous Australians.
Leading this 5 year collaboration is Professor Alex Brown from the Australian National University who focussed on establishing the National Indigenous Genomics Network of research nodes to engage with Indigenous Australians in genetic research and health care in a culturally safe way.

23Strands is standing in solidarity in the fight against ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer remains one of the most fatal cancers affecting women. Globally, a woman or girl who is diagnosed with ovarian cancer faces a 49% chance of surviving the next five years. Despite this, research in ovarian cancer persists to be disproportionately low in comparison to other fields of oncology.
Press Release
As part of a prestigious program to encourage research collaboration, 23Strands has secured funding in partnership with the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). The Australian Research Council’s Linkage Program (ARC LP) aims to encourage and extend cooperative approaches to research and encourages the transfer of skills, knowledge and ideas as a basis for securing commercial and other benefits of research.
