"You call it research, we call it hope." Congratulations, @MichelItel OAM, receiving recognition in the Australian Honours List for service to community health. He's a patient advocate working with TRI-based A/Prof @aruthak from @UQ_News and the @Qld_SBC. bit.ly/49Wnu29

4 million people will be diagnosed with skin/mucosal squamous cell cancer this year. @UQ_News Dr @ChandraJanin and her group at TRI work with doctors/industry/scientists to better understand the cancers and develop new treatments and diagnostics. @UQHealth bit.ly/4bbnSw0

TRI-based researchers are advancing work in areas including childhood brain cancer, melanoma, immunity and drug-resistant infections, with support from the @nhmrc. Researchers from @UQ_News, @QUT and @MaterResearch are among the chief investigators. bit.ly/49zWPrt

An entrepreneurial mindset is important in modern approaches to research translation. Take TRI-based Dr Jenni Gunter from @QUT, leveraging TRI’s Translation Pathways program to super-charge her prostate cancer research, in a partnership with @syndevrx. bit.ly/4pxjSt1

It's been a big year at TRI in 2025. Wishing you a safe, happy festive season. We look forward to connecting with you in 2026. We'll be in after hours-mode from the evening of Wed 24 Dec and reopen Mon 5 Jan. See our video. Read our 2025 achievements: tri.edu.au/about/news

Thank you, @7NewsBrisbane and @MarlinaWhop, for sharing details of microbiome research from @ThePopeLab at @QUT's @CMR_QUT. They are developing a probiotic for cows to reduce the amount of methane they burp up. bit.ly/4jjTy4k

Microbiome research at TRI is playing a role in human health and may also help cut greenhouse gas emissions. @QUT's @CMR_QUT has spawned spin-out company Bovotica, developing a probiotic for cows to reduce the amount of methane they burp up. @ThePopeLab bit.ly/4jjTy4k

TRI is a global leader in the effective translation of research and innovation into improved healthcare. But research conducted at TRI also helps to fight climate change. Find out about the work of TRI-based @ThePopeLab and Gene Tyson from @QUT @CMR_QUT today on @7NewsBrisbane.

Thank you, Dr David Hinchliffe, generously loaning 40 pieces of Aboriginal art from your family collection to TRI for two years. The works showcase artists from around Australia and contribute to creating a safe, welcoming and inspiring environment. tri.edu.au/resource/abori…

TRI-based @rikdrprof from @QUT has @nhmrc funding to work on a universal defence against emerging respiratory threats, potentially including influenza and COVID-19. @debottam_sinha @UQ_News @QIMRB_Institute @UTSEngage @xmuchina @NUSingapore @QUT_Genomics bit.ly/4oVxVII

TRI-based Prof @RonacherK from @MaterResearch has led a world-first study, finding people with diabetes are three times more likely to develop TB. @leaniekleynhans is the study first author. bit.ly/4iPOSmi @StellenboschUni @TheLancet

This is a natural killer (NK) cell attacking a tumour cell. It's part of research from @Fer_NK_nando. His @UQ_News team at TRI has developed a new antibody that activates NK cells to recognise and attack a protein found on many aggressive cancers. bit.ly/44qkhWL

“It’s a natural fit for the work that we do.” @sanofi Prof Cameron Simmons, Head of the Translational Science Hub, sees TRI’s new facility ENTRI as the natural place to be. ENTRI is due to open in early 2026 and is proudly funded by the @QldGov and TRI. bit.ly/4rf2b3s

Global company @sanofi will be the first tenant in TRI’s new facility ENTRI. Sanofi will stimulate the biomedical sector through expertise in product development/clinical research/commercialisation. ENTRI is due to open in 2026, funded by @QldGov and TRI. bit.ly/4rf2b3s

Congratulations, TRI-based A/Prof @BockNat from @QUT, winner of the Queensland Women in STEM Breaking Barriers Award. A/Prof Bock merges materials science and cancer biology to improve outcomes for people living with incurable cancer. bit.ly/4r0LuZt @qldmuseum

Celebrating trailblazing women in STEM. @qldmuseum has announced finalists of the Queensland Women in STEM Prize, including TRI-based A/Prof @BockNat from @QUT. She merges materials science and biology to improve outcomes for people with incurable cancer. bit.ly/qwisp-finalists

A genetic mutation that causes melanoma can lie dormant in healthy skin, TRI-based researchers from @UQ_News have found. The Finding could improve screening of disease-prone areas. bit.ly/3WwEmq0 @TheStarkLab @AnotherKatieLee @hpsoyer @BrJDermatol

From discovery to delivery, TRI accelerates scientific breakthroughs to real-world health impact. Connect with our team at the Queensland State Pavilion during @AusBiotech International Conference. Discover how our collaborative model drives innovation from bench to bedside.

"Working with researchers is a partnership." TRI Core Facilities provide access to world-class capabilities for researchers/clinicians. Meet the people of flow cytometry, histology, microscopy, preclinical imaging, biological research and gnotobiotics. tri.edu.au/facilities

Congratulations to the Boggo Road Innovation Precinct and GM @trent_munro, securing $4.95 million in @ausgov support for the initial phase of a new development. TRI is proud to be a leader at the precinct, alongside @UQ_News, @qldhealth and @thermofisher. bit.ly/47vxGhX
