Biotechnology Awards and Events
Advancing BioBusiness Award – Applications Open
Merck Sharp & Dohme and Advance have again formed a partnership to open new doors for Australian life scientists with the Advancing BioBusiness Award. The Award will provide the next generation of leaders in Australian biotechnology with access to leading institutions, companies and individuals in the US involved in commercialising life sciences. The Award will facilitate greater opportunities for connection and exposure to the global market and commercialisation processes for Australian discoveries. Through the Award, one Australian scientist will have the support to build valuable international networks and collaborations that will benefit their business and the Australian life sciences industry. The winner will attend the Bio International Convention in Atlanta, Georgia, May 2009, as well as participate in a tailored program of meetings with leading organisations involved in the life sciences sector.
Australian scientists are recognized for world class innovation, but historically the challenge has been translating that work into commercial success.
The closing date for applications is the 30th of January 2009

19th International Conference on Genome Informatics (GIW-2008) |
Gold Coast, Australia |
The International Conference on Genome Informatics (GIW) is the longest-running international bioinformatics conference. GIW has grown to bridge theory and experiment, academia and industry, East and West.
GIW was held annually in Japan through 2006, at which time its organisation was transferred to the new Association of Asian Societies of Bioinformatics (AASBi). GIW 2007 was held in Singapore, and in future the location of GIW will move among AASBi countries.
Bioinformatics Australia, representing the bioinformatics community in Australia, is honoured to host GIW-2008. Bioinformatics Australia is organised within AusBiotech, the national peak body in biotechnology. The annual meeting of Bioinformatics Australia (BA-2008) will be combined into GIW-2008.
