AIBN researchers are using the latest sequencing technology developed by UK-based biotech Oxford Nanopore Technologies to analyse mRNA vaccines and therapies.
Designing a new biodegradable ‘plastic’ bag could help change the way we farm mushrooms and open lucrative opportunities in packaging and manufacturing.
University of Queensland researchers have pioneered a new chemical process to manufacture the molecules that are the building blocks for lifesaving medicines, vaccines and energy storage materials.
The success of mRNA vaccines and cell therapies has highlighted the importance of biotechnology, and AIBN has helped kick-start the process for establishing a biomanufacturing ecosystem for Queensland.
AIBN’s scientists have developed a method of extracting nanofibres from spinifex, which can be used to make products such as condoms as thin as a human hair.
AIBN researchers are working on ways to improve the efficiency of biofuel and chemical manufacture while recycling waste carbon – by better understanding the gene function of bacteria.
