Virtual Tour of Garvan $10M Genome Sequencing Laboratory


The goal of The Garvan Institute of Medical Research is to prevent, treat or cure cancer, diabetes, obesity, neurological diseases, osteoporosis and immunological diseases. This week it was announced they will offer Australians suffering a genetic condition faster diagnosis through genome screening. Garvan is only the second place in the world to do so. The US$10 million HiSeq X Ten shown above allows for more accurate diagnosis in two months, something that previously took years.

To break down barriers and help alleviate some patients fears in the treatment of their condition we created virtual tours for The Garvan Institute and The Kinghorn Cancer Centre. The 360° photospheres allow anyone to tour the facilities online.

We also created virtual tours for Google Maps connecting the Garvan Institute and Kinghorn Cancer Centre with Google Street View.
