As Australia becomes one of only three countries to approve cultivated meat for sale, researchers at The University of Queensland’s Institute for Molecular Bioscience (IMB) have made a discovery that could help the emerging industry scale sustainably and overcome one of its biggest hurdles: cost.
Nearly 20 years ago, a family established an endowed fellowship to fund research on brain cancer and pain, inspired by their son and brother’s experience. Their support has enabled impactful work at IMB, into preventing cancer therapy side effects.
The Institute for Molecuar Bioscience returns to World Science Festival Brisbane's City of Science with our Junior Scientist Hub. Enjoy a weekend packed with engaging, hands-on science activities suitable for the whole family.
