Thank you to Dr Rodrigo Carlessi for leading discussions with others on developing some in-house metabolomics capability linked to the CHIRI-mass spec capability. Some appropriate columns have been ordered to expand pilot investigations underway. In 2018, WA will launch a centralised phenomics capability of which CHIRI is partnering. However, compementary capabilities are being encouraged by partner organisations. If you are keen to hear more regarding pilot studies being considered, please contact Rodrigo for further information.
