ALA will also be supporting the introduction of BioloMICS software to assist those working with collections of microorganisms.

Implementation of BioloMICS will mean not only providing software, but working with each organisation to help migrate existing data, setting up the means to share that data through ALA and AMRiN, training of personnel, and ensuring adequate technical support.

Nathalie van de Wiele, a microbiologist and BioloMICS specialist from Utrecht, Netherlands, will be assisting collections in Australia with training and working with the software.
