ARC Research Hub for Molecular Biosensors at Point-of-Use (MOBIUS)   

The Challenge

Led by Professor Conor Hogan from La Trobe University, the team will establish the ARC Research Hub for Molecular Biosensors at Point-of-Use (MOBIUS). The Hub aims to accelerate the growth of Australia's emerging biosensing industry. It will bring together industry, government and academic experts from diverse fields in Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Engineering, to work on complex problems and generate new commercial opportunities. It also aims to build an ecosystem to train the next generation of biosensor researchers by embedding researchers and students in industry.

The Hub aims to bridge the gap between university research and industry driving innovation by leveraging academic expertise and resources to address practical problems and advance technologies.

The Solution

NSSN Ambassador, Associate Professor Noushin Nasiri from Macquarie University, is one of the Chief Investigators on the MOBIUS Hub. The NSSN played a role in assisting her role in the Hub by connecting with industry partners where suitable.

“The NSSN has been instrumental in connecting me with several industry partners, including LB Agtech, which played a crucial role in supporting my ARC Hub application. Their support and guidance have been invaluable in advancing my research and fostering impactful collaborations,” A/Professor Nasiri said.
