Funded Activity Summary

Development of a novel high yield cell-free protein expression system. Recombinant proteins are used as vaccines, drugs, and research tools, as well as food and detergent additives, comprising a A$100 billion international market. Their production requires laborious, expensive, and time-consuming construction of transgenic organisms or cells. Alternatively, recombinant proteins can be produced in extracts prepared from cells or organisms. The aim of this proposal is to develop a new technology that will make cell-free production of recombinant proteins rapid, cheap, and scalable. This will advance Australia’s intellectual leadership in the area of biotechnology and will bring numerous economic benefits by accelerating pharmaceutical development.
