Mr Julian Simmonds MP visited IMB today to announce $35 million in funding to establish the Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for Innovations in Peptide and Protein Science (CIPPS).

Research into using a cannabis compound as an antibiotic has been boosted by a government grant to an Australian biotech company to collaborate with an Institute for Molecular Bioscience (IMB) superbugs researcher.

Two up-and-coming IMB researchers have received nearly $1.5 million from the Australian Research Council (ARC) to improve honeybee health and our knowledge of how cells work at the molecular level.

Mud taken from an estuarine nearly 20 years ago could hold the secret to a new painkiller.

New research has opened a pathway to improved antibiotics after revealing a crucial step in the way bacteria construct their defences.
