Australian Institute For Bioengineering And Nanotechnology AIBN

The University of Queensland's Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN) is an integrated multi-disciplinary research institute bringing together the skills of world-class researchers in the areas of bioengineering and nanotechnology. It is home to 18 research groups working at the interface of the biological, chemical and physical science to alleviate current problems in human health and environmental issues. The Institute has three key areas that collectively distinguish it from other institutes in the country, namely AIBN's: - Research excellence; - Industry focus; and - Dynamic research environment. These characteristics focus AIBN research efforts on developing new products, processes and devices for improving human health and quality of life. In this way the Institute goes beyond basic research to promote and develop the growth of innovative industries, which will benefit the Queensland and Australian economies.
