Creative solutions to accelerate your research
PEF and NBF Unite Under One Banner

Two of Australia's leading protein and biologics research facilities at the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN) will come together under the NBF banner. This combines NBF's deep expertise in biopharmaceutical development, clinical manufacturing, and therapeutic translation with the Protein Expression Facility's (PEF) recombinant protein production capabilities across multiple expression systems.
Under the new banner, NBF will offer an end-to-end suite of services, from early-stage recombinant protein production across multiple expression systems and purification through to clinical-grade biologic manufacturing, and will support researchers across academia, industry, and government in bringing next-generation therapeutics, vaccines, and diagnostics to life.
This is a landmark step for Australia's biologics and biomanufacturing ecosystem, and we look forward to continuing to support our users under our new operating model.
Visit our website (www.nationalbiologicsfacility.com) for more information on our expanded capabilities.
Existing projects will continue without interruption, and we will communicate directly with you to ensure your projects are on track. You can continue to reach us through your existing contacts, or please email NBF@uq.edu.au to reach the whole team.
Thank you for your continued trust and support. We look forward to continuing to work with you as part of the National Biologics Facility.
What we offer
Protein Research Services
Our flexible research services enable efficient production of recombinant proteins using a suite of expression systems. Each project is designed in close partnership with the user, to tailor the proteins for the intended application.
Protein Technology
At the frontier of protein technologies, we are passionate about delivering innovative solutions for macromolecular structure research, biotherapeutic and vaccine technology, modern diagnostic development and engineered bio-based material.
Engagement and Training
PEF supports staff and students in all aspects of recombinant protein production. Allow us to share our expertise with you through our customised programs, one-on-one consultations and workshops.
