Taking synthetic biology from scientific marvel to products in the market is not easy. It relies on many people and organisations beyond the research sector. Through this capability area we are exploring how a synthetic biology industry could further develop in Australia and how existing industries could capitalise on this science to their competitive advantage. We’re also exploring and reducing the barriers to uptake of the technology. We do this while closely collaborating with our partners and stakeholders.
PROJECT EXAMPLES
Adding value to industry
Much is being said about the opportunities in precision fermentation and its potential to benefit the food and chemical industries. But how do we make these technologies more streamlined, cost effective, energy efficient and scalable? These are among the questions being explored by Centre researchers at the Queensland University of Technology. Professor Ian O’Hara and Dr Jerome Ramirez are investigating best-practice precision fermentation, the process used to translate synthetic biology to industry.
