Meet the Researchers

Associate Professor Shyuan Ngo, or "Shu" as she is widely known, has been walking the halls of UQ since 1999. She first arrived as an undergraduate student and is now a group leader at the AIBN, where she leads research into MND.

Proud Gubbi Gubbi man Dr Francis McCallum from AIBN has been awarded a prestigious fellowship to advance microchip research in Japan.

AIBN researchers are at the heart of a new era for medical research, one that will boost local biomanufacturing and help seriously unwell patients.

Professor Kris Thurecht and the AIBN team are working to improve the targeting ability of these molecules to unlock the power of radiopharmaceuticals.

As Dr Birgitta Ebert can attest, the wider push for sustainability is more than replicating fossil-fuel processes and it includes developing more sustainable manufacturing processes that harness the power of our natural world and reduce our carbon footprint. 

Hemanshi Galaiya's work in synthetic biology is just part of the wider picture of how she is changing the world.

For Professor Yusuke Yamauchi, bucking the trend is essential to the future of clean energy systems.

Joy Wolfram's mission is to essentially reshape what we know about the medical landscape. Here's how she is positioning Australia as a global leader in extracellular vesicle medicine.

What makes a leader? The person with the loudest voice? An unmatched drive to be seen and heard? PhD scholar Nyakuoy Yak says there's no reason it can't be someone sitting quietly behind a microscope.

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.
