<strong>NCRIS</strong><br />
<strong>NCRIS</strong> is part of the Australian<br />
Government’s ‘Backing Australia’s<br />
Ability’ initiative which provides<br />
substantial funds to generate ideas,<br />
accelerate commercialisation, encourage<br />
collaboration, develop and retain skills.<br />
This <strong>NCRIS</strong> component includes nodes<br />
in the Australian Capital Territory, New<br />
South Wales, Queensland, South Australia<br />
the Victoria.<br />
Collaboration and funding<br />
The Australian Government, State<br />
Government of Victoria, <strong>CSIRO</strong> and<br />
Monash University have invested in this<br />
Victorian node to help enhance Australia’s<br />
capacity to produce recombinant proteins<br />
in pre-commercial quantities.<br />
The Victorian node is housed in a newly<br />
refurbished, dedicated laboratory at<br />
Monash University’s Centre for Green<br />
Chemistry for protein purification and<br />
purpose built pilot-scale fermentation<br />
laboratories at <strong>CSIRO</strong> Materials Science<br />
and Engineering, immediately adjacent<br />
to Monash University and the Australian<br />
Synchrotron.<br />
For production of recombinant proteins<br />
through the <strong>NCRIS</strong> program, researchers<br />
and biotechnology companies can have<br />
easy access to:<br />
• <strong>CSIRO</strong>’s fermentation production<br />
facility<br />
• Monash University’s purification facility<br />
• licensed contract manufacturing<br />
organisations (CMOs) to produce<br />
recombinant proteins under cGMP<br />
conditions for clinical trials.<br />
