A significant University of Queensland evolutionary discovery published in Nature has had the helping hand of QFAB for the last four years.

QFAB Database and Systems Administrator Nick Rhodes spends about one day a week working with the Degnan Marine Genomics Labs, with half of that day embedded within the research group.

“I do all the IT wrangling—creating accounts, advising students, installing and updating software, handling data storage and just generally ensuring that everyone has the resources they need to analyse their data,” said Nick.

“When we get new members in the lab, I usually tell them that it's my job to make sure that they can do their job.”
