Research

BioPRIA is pursuing the following three main research platforms to maximise the value of our renewable forest resources to create new value add products. The three platforms are aligned with our strategies and reflect combined strength across partner organisations.

PALS

The ARC Research Hub for Processing Lignocellulosics into High Value Products (PALS) receives $6.8 million investment over 5 years from the ARC funding, industry partners and Monash University contributions.

BAMI

Bioprocessing Advanced Manufacturing Initiative (BAMI) ARC Industry Transformation Research Hub aims to explore the concept of biorefinery and to identify nanocellulose applications and speciality chemicals as key technologies.

DIAGNOSTICS

Diagnostics platform aims at engineering paper biodiagnostics for health, environment and food safety applications and to maintain the bioactivity of biomolecules immobilised on a surface.
