Funded Activity Summary
Molecular farming: seizing the opportunity to establish a new technology based, value adding industry in and for Australia. Molecular farming involves the production of novel products in plants and brings together the technology to genetically modify plants to produce these products with efficient production of plant biomass. The range of potential products is very broad and includes therapeutic and industrial proteins, bioplastics, fibres, food additives, glues and dyes. The molecular farming industry is already established in North America with products on the market. Australia has an outstanding opportunity to participate in this new industry as a producer if we can aggregate the critical scientific mass and work together with the current fledgling industry and State and Federal regulators.Funded Activity Details
