OzDros, the Australian Drosophila Biomedical Research Support Facility, has been established at the Australian National University with funding from the Australian Government, through a National Health and Medical Research Council (NH&MRC) Enabling Grant.

This facility aims to lower the barriers that currently inhibit Drosophila research in Australia by providing expert, low cost support for Drosophila resesarch. We hope to increase the productivity of researchers currently using Drosophila and to encourage more researchers to include Drosophila in their experimental armoury.
