The Victorian AgriBiosciences Centre (VABC) houses state-of-the-art research infrastructure and core platform technologies to support agricultural biotechnology innovation for academia and industry.

The VABC will build upon capabilities in microarray technology for development, fabrication and analysis of high-density oligonucleotide arrays for transcriptome analysis and other chip technology applications in systems biology specialising in the Combimatrix platform. From 2012 the Centre will be located at a new, world-class facility costing $230 million to be constructed from 2009.
