As part of this multi-year strategic partnership, we have already established an mRNA Innovation Center in Melbourne to contribute our scientific expertise.  In parallel, we are developing and commissioning a state‑of‑the‑art mRNA manufacturing facility on La Trobe University’s Bundoora campus. The site is designed to support the research and development as well as the clinical manufacturing of investigational mRNA-based medicines from Victoria’s growing ecosystem and from other third‑party innovators globally.  Last week, we celebrated two BioNTainer units having been successfully installed as part of this pioneering public‑private partnership with the State of Victoria. David Sparling, our Site Head in Australia, said: “We are grateful to be able to contribute to a growing community that is jointly building a multi‑partner mRNA ecosystem. With its strategic investments and partnerships, the Victorian Government is actively shaping the local industry and a network of universities, research institutes and corporates with the aim of accelerating innovation in medicine.” 👉 More information on our work in Australia: https://lnkd.in/e3R6mbaw
