Early career researchers

Researchers are daring to discover urgently needed new drugs and therapies from one of the most painful plants in Australia.

Chronic pain is a life-altering condition, but the answer to this devastating condition could come from an animal with a deadly sting.

IMB researchers have proven they top the state, with two of the three winners of the Queensland Women in STEM awards going to the Institute.

Some new studies have found people who were never symptomatic, exposed to, or tested positive for COVID-19 that have immune cells that can recognise COVID-19.

Instead of protecting us from the virus that causes COVID-19, the body's natural defence mechanisms can overreact and inflict damage. Understanding why could make the infection far less dangerous.

IMB researchers have investigated a peptide from the marine sandworm, which has the power to kill superbugs.

Sheep poo could hold the key to developing the next generation of antiparasitic treatments that could protect Australian livestock and save the industry millions of dollars a year.

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.
