| Presenter | Prof. Anton Middelberg, University of Queensland, Australia |
Anton Middelberg is the 2010 Queensland Smart Futures Premier’s Fellow at The University of Queensland, and the Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. He researches the science of chemical self-assembly processing, to define new bio-inspired products and methods for their economic manufacture. His current focus is on developing new technology for rapid and cheap vaccine manufacture. Professor Middelberg has previously held tenured academic positions at Adelaide and Cambridge Universities, a Fulbright fellowship at UC Berkeley, and he was elected Fellow of Selwyn College Cambridge and Fellow of the Cambridge-MIT Institute. He has received a number of awards including the Brodie and Shedden-Uhde medals of the Institution of Engineers Australia, and in 2008 was named as one of the 100 most influential engineers in Australia. He has published more than 150 refereed papers at the interface between biology and engineering, and has editorial roles on leading journals including Chemical Engineering Science (Editor-in-Chief) and Trends in Biotechnology.
