CBI/EBD Group’s Rare Disease Summit convenes industry, patient groups, investors and policy makers to unite in areas of unmet medical need and create life-transforming therapies and breakthroughs.

When navigating the journey to product commercialisation, knowing the “who, how, when and why” of engagement with industry is integral to the successful translation of a novel research endeavour into a viable product with good market fit. Gaining a deeper understanding of the product development ecosystem, and how to engage with it, will help you better adapt your technology for a design-led approach to commercialisation.

Join our leading experts from university and research, industry-leading product design and commercialisation to learn about some of the practical realities and how you can prepare to engage effectively with industry to succeed. Commercialisation Australia will also provide an update on their industry support programs and insights into what makes an innovative project attractive to them.

CSIRO’s Data61, the data and digital specialist arm of Australia’s national science agency is hosting an online event on Wednesday 2nd December 2020 showcasing our latest technology advances in the area of Supply Chain Integrity. Join us on the day to hear from researchers and industry.

At Inova, our aim is to accelerate partnering by facilitating the bridge between science and business. From 2-4 December, Inova in collaboration with Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO), are organizing a 3-day virtual partnering event on infectious diseases where participants will have the opportunity to network using the partnering platform and showcase their companies through short video presentations or through links to their scientific abstracts.

An information webinar that outlines the capabilities available from the NCRIS-supported TIA consortium. Speakers from each of TIA’s three capabilities will broadly outline the unique and expert services and how to access them at reduced cost.

Queensland Health’s clinical trials consortium supported by Queensland Clinical Trials Network (QCTN) –an initiative of Life Sciences Queensland Limited, brings together key stakeholders in clinical research and trials from across Queensland to build and promote the states clinical trial capacity and capability.

The consortium is building national and international collaborations to position Queensland as the destination of choice to undertake clinical trials.

Join us at the forum on 2 December at 4pm AEST to hear about the clinical trials landscape in Queensland, and the launch of the Queensland Clinical Trial Portal by Professor Keith McNeil, Acting Deputy Director-General and Chief Medical Officer Prevention Division and Chief Clinical Information Officer.

This free panel will highlight research and collaborations to develop new tools to tackle AMR and provide an update on efforts to facilitate development and uptake of innovation. While these tools may be years from approval, policy engagement to address identified barriers must begin now.

Please note this event runs late into the night AEST – please still register and you will be sent the recording after.

The Centre for Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine (CCRM) Australia again partners with local and international venture capital firms to hold a second National Regenerative Medicine SuperPitch. The SuperPitch offers expertise and investment funding for translation and commercialisation of Australian projects related to regenerative medicine.

In March 2006, BrisScience burst onto the scene with the aim to share important and topical aspects of science with the broader community. Fast-forward almost 15 years and BrisScience has helped inform, excite and inspire thousands of people from Brisbane and around the world.

This month at BrisScience, we’re bring these two worlds together. You’ll hear from eight of this year’s Faculty of Science 3MT finalists, sharing a 3-minute-summary of their 80,000 word thesis. With topics ranging from plant diversity and drug discovery to echidna poo, prepare for an outstanding and highly entertaining array of bite-sized science from UQ PhD candidates.

The ARC CoE for Plant Success in Nature and Agriculture will make significant advances in the emerging fields of evolutionary systems biology (how plants work and evolve) and predictive analytics (mathematics) to deliver novel strategies for improving ecosystem management, crop resilience and yield. Parallel advances in legal and social frameworks will modernise outdated precedents in these areas, enabling greater scope for commercialisation and public uptake. Through strong industrial and global partnerships and interdisciplinary collaborations, mentoring and communication, the Centre will transform plant science for the next generation. This presentation will provide an overview of the Centre’s activities and inclusive approach.

Please join us at the Life Sciences Queensland Limited upcoming virtual AGM on Thursday 10 December.

Herewith please find links to the 2019 AGM Minutes, Notice of Annual General Meeting, Appointing a Proxy Form and the 2019-20 Annual Report.

Registration is essential and only open to LSQ Members. Once registered we will keep you up to date via email with the virtual event process leading into the event.

Livestock productivity is guided by traditional management practices to enhance animal performance. Physiological biomarkers and remote sensors-based technology can be useful to track livestock. In this QAAFI seminar, I present the outcomes of a research trial to discuss how shearing frequency influences the activity budget of maternal ewes measured using SMART ear tags and using wool glucocorticoid (stress hormone) to detect the changes in physiological stress during gestation. Our research work demonstrates that wool hormone monitoring and SMART sensor technology can be employed to monitor the performance and well-being of sheep to guide best practice, animal welfare, and sustainable production outcomes.
