Metabolomics Australia Sample Tracking Repository is a project funded by the Bio21 Institute through their involvement in Bio-platforms Australia. The grant runs from July 2017 – December 2017. This platform is for use in the tracking of physical bio-specimens and the associated metabolomics data analysis for researchers across Australia. PRESS are responsible for augmenting the existing platform for improved sample management including export to internationally standardised data formats as well as mobile applications for tracking of samples and delivery of results.

Smartly-aggregated Wiki-style Argument Marshalling (SWARM) has been funded ($18m) by the US Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) to develop a platform to support improved crowd-based argumentation. This work includes natural language processing, machine learning and advanced data analytics to support the collection and analysis of crowd-sourced data. The goals are to support better decisions through extraction of arguments from the crowd with specific focus on aiding geopolitical analysis and decision-making.

Drone analytics platform has been funded by the University of Melbourne to support data analysis of crop data captured through unmanned aerial vehicles (drones). This platform will be used to process aerial data on crops using large-scale Cloud infrastructure. This work will be used for example to identify crop issues and ways in which improved agricultural methods can be supported .

Victorian Flu Surveillance Network has been funded by the Doherty Institute at the University of Melbourne to develop a platform support surveillance of flu outbreaks across Victoria. This system is to be used by GPs to record patients with flu and/or flu-like systems.

Growing a Sensory Network to Engage our City in the Benefits of Urban Trees and Green Space has been funded by the Melbourne Networked Society Institute (MNSI) to realise a platform for capturing and analysing data from sensors positioned in trees around Melbourne to understand the benefits of urban trees and green space on health, wellbeing and their impact on the localised reduction of pollution.

Supporting the Centre for Systems Genomics has been funded to support the research-oriented IT needs of the Centre for Systems Genomics (SysGen) at the University of Melbourne. This includes web-enabling existing bioinformatics applications and databases crossing the whole -omics space, and setting up systems and processes for continuous software delivery to diverse biomedical research communities.

Cognitive Platform for Population Health Research Communities has been funded to develop a range of cognitive tests for assessing the mental abilities of individuals and especially those with Alzheimers. This system includes capture of basic demographic information and includes tests such as learning pairings of English words with Chinese characters and learning pairings of bird pictures with bird songs.

Enhancing Support for the NeCTAR Research Cloud Biomedical Communities has been funded to extend a range of mobile applications to support the NeCTAR-funded endocrine genomics virtual laboratory (endoVL) along with development and support for microbiome database solutions.

Opportunities to Improve Liveability through Water is a commercial project funded by Yarra Valley Water (YVW) to explore a range of scenarios related to liveability across a range of local government authorities across Victoria.

Mobile applications for Patients with Neuroendocrine Tumours is a project to develop patient-focused mobile applications (both iOS and Android) for patients with neuroendocrine tumours to record a variety of information on their quality of life. This system includes support for secure storage and visualisation of data and its combination with other clinical and treatment data sets.
