Victoria has real biomanufacturing strengths, but the hard problem is translation: turning promising laboratory processes into robust, compliant, commercially scalable manufacturing.

This seminar will explore Victoria’s biomanufacturing capabilities and the role of industry in driving innovation and translation, featuring Dr Felicia Pradera and Dr Brenton Hamdorf.

The discussion will consider the sector’s resilience, opportunities for greater government support and regulatory optimisation, and Victoria and Australia’s potential leadership in the Asia-Pacific region. It will also highlight the importance of collaboration and the role organisations like ATSE can play in strengthening the biomanufacturing ecosystem.
