Queensland hopes to create home-grown vaccines and become a major international vaccine hub after a partnership was announced at a global biotech conference in the U.S. on June 7.
The partnership between the University of Queensland (UQ) and Emory University in Atlanta would make Queensland a centre for the Asia Pacific region, and a significant player in the burgeoning global biomedical industry, UQ’s Vice-Chancellor Professor Deborah Terry said at the conference.
