WELCOME TO OPTOGENETICS AUSTRALIA

Optogenetics Australia was established to support the application and development of optogenetics and to deliver benefits of the technology to research in academia and industry in Australia. This network will foster exchange and collaboration by connecting research groups working in the field and by organizing an annual workshop. Find out more about optogenetics and investigators in Australia (including the occasional open position)! Impressions of the 2021 Workshop (held 16-19 February, 2021) can be found here. We thank our speakers, participants and sponsor for a great event!
