Pharming for Future Therapeutics

Mr Maxim Harding (PhD Candidate, University of Queensland)

Imagine you live on Mars, and you need medicine. Maybe a vaccine, a pain killer, or even an antibiotic. Instead of your doctor giving you a needle or a pill they hand you a cherry tomato or peanut. This talk is on plant molecular pharming, growing drugs in plants.

Max Harding is passionate about translational science with societal benefit. He completed a Bachelor of Biotechnology with 1st Class Honours in 2021 and is now a PhD student at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience at the University of Queensland.

Novel Approaches to Improve Healing with Tendon Tears

Dr Eleonore Bolle (Postdoctoral Research Fellow, University of Queensland )

In this talk we will be discussing what the rotator cuff is and reasons for the poor healing outcomes following surgical interventions. We will then discuss novel approaches towards improving these outcomes, with some strategies including tissue engineering and computational modelling.

Eleonore Bolle is a mechanical engineer by education with added skills in tissue culture, allowing her to combine elements of both fields into her research: biomaterials, computational modelling and cell biology. She is passionate about using her skills to address current clinical challenges.
