The Victorian Centre for Functional Genomics (VCFG) at Peter Mac offers biomedical researchers Australia-wide the ability to perform novel discovery-based functional interrogation all genes in the genome, or selected boutique collections using multiple platforms including CRISPR/cas9, small interfering RNA (siRNA), micro RNA (miRNA) and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and short hairpin RNA (shRNA).

The VCFG facilitates small scale drug screens using commercially available compounds or your own source. The VCFG has established a Reverse Phase Protein Array platform, another high throughput discovery technology that allows for rapid quantitation of the expression of native and phospho-specific protein isoforms in very small sample populations. The VCFG also offers Short Tandem Repeat (STR) profiling for cell line authentication.
