Course Summary

Our research in the area of Bioscience and Biotechnology Engineering focuses on the exploitation of biological processes for multiple aspects of societal impact, ranging from well-being and medicine to bioremediation and environmental safety.Our researchers are using living organisms, and their derivatives, to create novel products and processes for fundamental and applied research. Microbiology, genetic engineering, tissue, and cell cultures are all used to develop domestic and industrial applications through innovation that drives radical change in the capabilities of a user or culture.Our 'Formulation and Delivery Group' is developing micro- and nano- encapsulation systems that provide stability, integrity and targeting for functional molecules in the area of human nutrition and drug delivery.The 'Biomanufacturing Research Group' translates fundamental research outputs into functional solutions that are being utilised in industry to prevent infection and disease.
