Just as animal bodies have individual organs, every cell has organelles that perform a specific function. We are re-engineering organelles to create highly efficient factories within cells to produce high-value compounds.
Hidden wonder of cells
Centre researchers have developed a new technique to see inside cells with unprecedented detail. This reveals a complicated web of interactions that give us new insights into how cells stay healthy.

A team at Macquarie University has developed a unique method for analysing sugars in cells to provide valuable insights for synthetic biology. They are also exploring how to engineer artificial communities of microorganisms, focusing on how sugars interact with the gut microbiome and affect the formation of biofilms.
