Queensland’s premier life sciences event, the GENE Awards, recognise excellence and achievement in our sector, with nominations now open.

The awards showcase the depth and potential of the sector, with categories recognising achievement by individuals and companies at both early and late stages. They are open to LSQ member companies and their staff working throughout Queensland.

The GENE Awards provide our industry with invaluable recognition from the media, business leaders, investors, and the broader community, and individuals who have been awarded previously have seen a significant boost to their careers while amplifying their contributions to the field.
