Protein Australia 2023
From 2-4 July 2023 we engaged with scientists from academia, industry and government who are contributing to the development of protein science and protein technology.
Protein Australia highlighted recent advances in protein research, protein engineering and production for structural and functional studies, and included a special focus on translation of protein-based bioproducts.
The themes included protein engineering and production, protein quality and characterisation, and bioprocess innovation for biomanufacturing.
