You are invited to join us for a free half-day Membrane Trafficking and Dynamics Symposium on 18 April 2016 at IMB.

Researchers from The University of Queensland have identified a treatment target for aggressive forms of breast cancer.

This year on Rare Disease Day, Associate Professor Carol Wicking, Director of the IMB Centre for Rare Diseases Research, explains what rare diseases are and why a co-ordinated approach to tackling rare diseases is needed.

IMB is home to some of the world’s most influential scientific minds, measured by Thomson Reuters Highly Cited Researchers index. New group leader Professor Grant Montgomery was named in this prestigious index.

The CO-ADD Chemistry Prize is an online competition open to all academic researchers and students worldwide, who can submit an abstract and an optional video on how chemistry can fight the war on superbugs and help find the next antibiotic. Entries close 15 January 2016.

The University of Queensland has teamed up with the Queensland Department of Health to bring researchers and clinicians together to take action against antibiotic resistance.

Research to investigate drug leads for cholesterol, antibiotics for drug-resistant bacteria, cardiovascular development, and inflammation are just some of the innovative projects at UQ’s Institute for Molecular Bioscience (IMB) to receive new funding from the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC).

An initiative to create new and potentially life-changing drugs has taken a step forward at The University of Queensland following an Advance Queensland funding agreement with the Queensland Government. The Queensland Emory Drug Discovery Initiative (QEDDI), to be based at UQ, will translate world-class academic drug discovery into candidates for clinical trials.

Researchers at UQ’s Institute for Molecular Bioscience have received $7 million from the Australian Research Council (ARC) to pursue discoveries in a range of health and agriculture areas. The grants will fund projects to develop biosensors that can talk to smartphones, more efficient algal biofactories, and pain treatments from venom.
