About
Genomic Biomarkers and Assays was formed at the start of 2025 with the aim to translate agricultural, environmental, and wildlife research from academia to the communities, small businesses, and industries. Nowadays, it is possible to design custom genetic tests for a wide variety of applications. Whether it is improving crop yield, tracking invasive species, population management of wild animals, or heritable characteristics in animals, we provide a range of scientific services with a focus on developing custom solutions to projects and challenges.
No project is too small or large to work on and we specialise in custom solutions. Our experts have over 10 years of experience and can take a project from sample collection, do the laboratory work, and the data analysis. We are experts on all steps of the process. We know the best methods to collect samples, the most cost effective and high throughput laboratory methods, and how to extract the most out of data. Regardless of your agricultural, environmental, or animal challenge, get in touch so we can find novel solutions to your projects.
Scientific Lead
Genomic Biomarkers and Assays is led by Dr Benjamin Mayne PhD (Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics). Ben has worked at universities and federal research organisations where he developed a method to determine the age of animals using their DNA. By having such a method enables wildlife managers to use a non-lethal and cost-effective method to answer population related questions such as the risk of extinction and the sustainable harvest of fisheries.
Ben has been involved in a wide variety of agricultural, environmental, and wildlife research projects and now translates work from research papers into real world solutions. Ben has a wealth of experience of translating research into practical uses and aims to assist communities, small businesses, and industries with Genomic Biomarkers and Assays. Whether it is development of a more cost-effective method or a whole new way of working, Ben and Genomic Biomarkers and Assays are ready to find practical solutions for you.
