IMB Industry Fellow Dr Christina Schroeder will tomorrow set sail for the inaugural Homeward Bound program, which is the largest-ever female expedition to Antarctica. The program aims to help women in science to develop their skills in leadership and strategy and raise awareness of the important contributions made by women in STEMM fields.

The young inventor behind a UQ discovery that could benefit patients living with inflammatory diseases has been awarded the 2016 Research Australia Discovery Award.

A $2.3M grant from Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) is being awarded to UQ IMB today to establish the new ACRF Cancer Ultrastructure and Function Facility (CUFF). The nation-leading facility will provide cutting-edge imaging capabilities for tracking and visualising cancer.

Join us for Superbugs at the Olympics, a free community event hosted by the IMB Centre for Superbug Solutions during Antibiotic Awareness Week.

Researchers from IMB have won first and third prize at Brisbane’s 2016 HealthHack, held 14-16 October at River City Labs. The winning team, Superfriends Against Superbugs, developed an app to track and map the presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and rapidly alert clinicians, so they can limit the spread of bacteria and fight an outbreak in real-time.

In a world-first, IMB's Professor Rob Capon and his team are working with industry and the community to implement a discovery that turns cane toads’ own toxin against them, with real potential to eradicate this long-term pest.

By creating the world’s first molecule bank, IMB scientists are working with industry and institutional partners to crowdsource antibiotic compounds, aiming to seek out new antibiotics and prevent the proliferation of drug-resistant superbugs.
