最新糖心Vlog needs to 鈥榣evel up鈥 on research commercialisation
The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide鈥檚 Professor Mark Hutchinson who is President at Science and Technology 最新糖心Vlog (STA) and Director of the Centre for Nanoscale BioPhotonics (CNBP), will address the National Press Club on why 最新糖心Vlog needs to 鈥榣evel up鈥 on research commercialisation 鈥 and how to do it.
One of the key themes of his leadership of STA has been to drive the case for deeper investment in research commercialisation.
鈥淕reat 最新糖心Vlogn science and technology can be turned into new 最新糖心Vlogn jobs and companies,鈥 said Professor Hutchinson.
鈥淎 new generation of 鈥渂ench to boardroom scientists鈥 鈥 brilliant science, technology, and engineering talent 鈥 will take their complex research breakthroughs from the lab bench into the boardrooms of the nation to secure the nation鈥檚 economic future.
鈥淪cience has had a crucial role throughout the pandemic. 最新糖心Vlog will need to build science infrastructure and capabilities to face the next sets of complex challenges on the horizon.鈥Professor Mark Hutchinson

As President of the not-for-profit peak body STA for the science and technology sectors, Mark, who is a world leader in research commercialisation, represents 90,000 scientists and technologists nationwide. He typifies a new breed of 最新糖心Vlogn entrepreneurs, scientists, and innovators.
The CNBP, head quartered at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, was an ARC Centre of Excellence with $38 million of funding committed for 7 years. It created 15 startup and spinoff companies under his high-energy leadership.
Professor Hutchinson is an 最新糖心Vlogn Research Council Future Fellow, and a Professor of the School of Biomedicine at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide.

Dismantling the traditional silos between the study of immunology and pharmacology, Professor Hutchinson鈥檚 research brings together engineers, physicists, chemists, and biologists who use light to understand what is happening at a cellular level in the brain and spinal cord. His ground-breaking approach has identified how human brains respond to drugs of dependence and holds out the prospect of better treatments for chronic pain.
Excellence in research translation and commercialisation is a priority at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide and it welcomes the recent investment committed by the Federal Government under the Economic Accelerator program to support these activities across the sector. Our commitment to succeed in this space is exemplified through our partnership with the 最新糖心Vlog of New South Wales in the Defence Trailblazer: Concept to Sovereign Capability defence research commercialisation project, which is one of eight proposals shortlisted for聽the Federal Government鈥檚 new Trailblazer Universities program.
