The establishment of Australia’s largest computational biology team, part of Luminesce Alliance Data Enabling Platform, will mean that more precisely targeted cancer treatments can help children like Jack.

How computational biology helps children like Jack

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is the leading genetic cause of infant death in Australia. The Newborn Screening Pilot (NBS) pilot by the NSW Government through Luminesce Alliance, has since screened over 100,000 babies.
