Our Vision

Advance research led by, for, and with Indigenous communities.

Our Mission

Improve indigenous health across communities in Australia.

The AIRF's Objectives and goals

With strategic partnerships and cutting-edge technologies, AIRF fosters a transparent and decentralized platform for managing Indigenous research and intellectual property.

Promoting Indigenous-Led Research

AIRF encourages participation in ethical research projects.

Ensuring Indigenous Data Sovereignty

AIRF ensures that all research data is securely stored and managed within its platform.

Enhancing Collaboration

Fostering multidisciplinary collaboration among Indigenous researchers.

Advancing Impact

AIRF evaluates the impact of research projects using the Dollar to Research Impact Ratio (D2RI).

Commitment to Indigenous Culture

AIRF is deeply committed to respecting and honoring Indigenous culture and customs.

Biomedical

Utilising the AI infrastructure, IRF Biomedical aims to develop novel biomedical technologies and treatments that cater to the unique health needs of Indigenous Australians.

Genomics Research

With the AI data integration capabilities, IRF Genomics Research will collect and analyse genetic data, contributing to the development of personalized medical treatments that respect and incorporate Indigenous genetic diversity.

Health Solutions

By gathering extensive health data and utilising the AI hypothesis generation platform, IRF Health Solutions will create tailored health interventions that address chronic diseases and other prevalent health issues among Indigenous Australians.

Therapeutics

Utilising advanced laboratory facilities and research expertise, IRF Therapeutics will focus on creating effective therapeutic solutions that integrate traditional practices with modern medicine, aiming to improve overall health and well-being.

TRADITIONAL MEDICINE

Dedicated Portal

In collaboration with AIRF, UniVerse has developed a dedicated portal to support Indigenous research, ensuring that only verified participants can access sensitive data.

Access to UniVerse’s Data Repository

AIRF gains exclusive access to UniVerse's extensive data repository through NFT ownership.

The UniVerse platform is a pioneering digital ecosystem that integrates advanced medical data analytics, a Large Language Model (LLM), and a hypothesis generator, supported by state-of-the-art computational resources.

Molecular Analysis

Our molecular analysis service uses advanced techniques and sequencing to study genes, proteins, metabolites, and more.

Genomic Analysis

Identify genetic variations, and analyze gene expression, providing valuable insights for research, diagnostics, and personalized medicine.

Cell Culture & Assays

Growth and maintenance of various cell lines for cytotoxicity assays, proliferation assays, and other cell-based tests.

Protein Analytics

High-resolution mass spectrometry for small and large molecule characterization.

Token Incentivization Mechanism

Designed to reward Indigenous researchers and contributors for their participation in research projects facilitated by AIRF and the UniVerse platform. Through blockchain technology and tokenization, AIRF aims to create a sustainable and equitable model that benefits both researchers and the broader Indigenous community.

Token Generation

Indigenous researchers earn tokens for their contributions to research projects.

Collaboration With AIAC

AIRF leverages AIAC’s approved digital currency exchange license to facilitate the tokenization and creation of NFTs.

Token Utility

Researchers can trade their Tokens with a portion of It reinvested into Indigenous community initiatives.

Monetization of Research

Outputs can be tokenized as NFTs, enabling the secure and transparent sale or licensing of intellectual property.
