Our PhD candidates have a laser-sharp focus on industry and translating lab ideas into real-life outcomes. Here are two AIBN scholars who teamed up with industry partners for their research, then landed a job with them.
The winners in this year’s AIBN Image Contest have been unveiled, showing that some of the most spectacular science occurs on the very smallest of scales.
Yeast has long been a cheap and abundant ingredient in bread and beer and thanks to its unique chemical properties, it can now be used in diagnostic technologies that rival PCR testing for speed and sensitivity.
Two projects led by AIBN researchers – and another that features some of our brightest minds – have been recognised with $2m funding under the latest ARC Linkage Grants round.
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.
Designing a new biodegradable ‘plastic’ bag could help change the way we farm mushrooms and open lucrative opportunities in packaging and manufacturing.
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.
Tiny brains grown in a lab could help The University of Queensland (UQ) researchers find a treatment for a rare hereditary disease and, in the process, unlock therapies for a range of other neurological disorders.
A month in California was a source of hope and wonder for AIBN PhD scholar Michaela George, but it also showed her just how hard you need to work crack the start-up world.
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.
Researchers from the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN) have won $1.5 million to improve precision nanomedicines and create a cleaner environment – all while strengthening industry ties.
Researchers at the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology have pioneered a simple, fast and effective technique to remove PFAS chemicals from water.
Science, for many, is a series of experiments: recreating specific conditions to find the correct answer. But what happens when the lab walls dissolve and a researcher lands in the real world?
One of Dr Han’s most intriguing pursuits involves the creation of a new type of oral HIV drug: one that would bypass the need for multiple needles each day and the often-painful reactions that accompany certain treatments.
