#MGIFOMO2025

🎉FOMO is back — and bigger than ever!

After an incredible response last year, the Festival of Multi-Omics (FOMO) by MGI Australia returns to bring even more insights, innovation, and inspiration to cities across Australia.

From single-cell and spatial transcriptomics to long- and short-read sequencing, metagenomics, and clinical genomics — this year’s tour dives even deeper into the transformative power of multi-omics technologies. Hear from guest speakers in your local research community as they share their exciting research.
