Urgent solutions are needed for the way our global community generates and uses energy, engages with our environment, and deals with serious health issues.
At the AIBN we are working on the answers.
Tough problems call for a new way of looking at the world. Our approach – merging bio-engineering and nano-science – is purposely disruptive. It allows us to look at things differently and solve problems in a way others cannot.
We are solving tomorrow’s problems today. We work closely with industry to translate cutting-edge science into practical, game-changing solutions.

Our Impact
Since 2004 we have attracted total research revenue of more than a quarter of a billion dollars. Some of our game-changing solutions include:
Latest news
- Professor Megan O'Mara's research sits at the interface of chemistry, biology, physics, and computer science. Or, more simply, she uses gaming computers to solve the mysteries of the human body.
- Researchers at the AIBN have won vital funding to improve personalised healthcare, develop new energy solutions, and unearth cleaner mining technologies – all in tandem with local industry partners.
- A University of Queensland (UQ) spin out company will use the traditional Indigenous knowledge of spinifex from the Queensland outback to develop innovative medical gels.
