Events and professional development
From sector briefings to the annual GENE Awards, LSQ runs events that build knowledge and create connections that matter.
Membership and networks LSQ gives members access to a coordinated ecosystem that includes connections to government, research institutions, and industry they couldn't reach alone.
Grants and sector intelligence
LSQ monitors funding opportunities and regularly shares them with members. We ensure no QLD professional misses the grants and fellowships relevant to their work.
LSQ's 100+ members span every part of Queensland's life sciences sector, from biotech and medtech to clinical trials, biomanufacturing, digital health, and commercialisation.
Together, they contribute $2.11 billion to Queensland's economy and create approximately 12,400 jobs. Membership gives you access to that network, and to the intelligence, events, and recognition that come with it.

The GENE Awards are Queensland's most significant recognition event for life sciences.
Held annually, the awards bring together industry leaders, researchers, and innovators to acknowledge the people and organisations making a measurable difference across every sub-sector, from early career to established enterprise.
LSQ hosts and promotes events throughout the year, including networking sessions, sector briefings, and our flagship GENE Awards gala. These are the places where Queensland's life sciences community meets, exchanges intelligence, and builds the relationships that move the sector forward. Join us at an upcoming event.
Funding opportunities move fast. LSQ monitors grants, fellowships, and programs relevant to Queensland's life sciences sector and shares them with members, so your organisation stays informed without having to track it all yourself.
