Public seminars
The Garvan Institute is committed to safeguarding the health of all visitors. In the wake of the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, the Garvan Institute has taken the precautionary measure to indefinitely postpone our public seminars.
Garvan’s location on the St Vincent’s Precinct (which includes the Diabetes Centre and The Kinghorn Cancer Centre) means we are in close proximity to patients, vulnerable and elderly people attending regularly for treatment.
Thank you for your ongoing support. We look forward to welcoming you in the future.

Get into your genes

Each of us has around 6 billion letters in our genome (our entire genetic instruction manual). At Garvan, we read an individual’s DNA sequence – the order of the As, Cs, Gs and Ts along our genome – to find variants in our DNA that could mean the difference between health and disease.
Location
All seminars take place in the auditorium at Garvan Institute of Medical Research, 384 Victoria Street (enter via Burton Street), Darlinghurst, NSW 2010.
