Happy Monday everyone! Undergraduate Peer Group Coaching sessions are starting this week on Wednesdays at 1pm and Fridays at 3pm.

Find more details below. We hope to see you there!

・・・
📣📣Calling all Molecular Sciences Undergrads!

Your Peer Group Coaching sessions start next Wednesday 8 September 🎉🎉🎉.

If you’re studying any undergraduate units in Molecular Sciences (think Chemistry, Biomolecular, chem-based Med Sci units), join our FREE Peer Group Study Sessions starting next week.

The sessions will be led by your fellow students who are some of our Success Coaches. Any information you share in the sessions will remain anonymous from any staff. We're creating a safe space where students can talk about issues/concerns/things that are going well/things that need improving in their units and their overall Uni experience.

Introducing one of our up-and-coming scientific superstars - Dr Tom Williams, CSIRO Synthetic Biology Future Science Fellow.

Hey everyone 👋, I’m Tom and I’m excited to introduce you all to the world of biotechnology 🔬!

I remember when I was 14 and I saw a textbook figure on all the possibilities of biotechnology. From then on, I was hooked! I knew I wanted to engineer living things and get them to do something useful.

Fast forward to 2010 and I became interested in synthetic biology after reading articles from Craig Venter’s group on whole genome synthesis. I realised it was technologically possible to design an entire organism 🤯🤯🤯.

Now I’m fortunate enough to be part of our amazing and community. My role involves using synthetic biology to achieve engineering objectives despite dealing with overwhelming biological complexity and incomplete biological knowledge.

Most days you’ll find me in the lab early before popping out to grab a ☕ with my team before we head back to the lab or get stuck into writing/admin/grants and strategising for future projects.

If you see me around campus, make sure you say Kia Ora (yes, I’m a kiwi!) and ask me about the time I lost 10kg in a week in the Antarctic Dry Valleys 😱😱… Or just hit me up for more info about synthetic biology and how you can join our biotech fam!

Have you considered what you might do after you graduate? 🤔

Undertake further study at Macquarie with a Master of Biotechnology! 🔬
This program will equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to develop technologies that can produce sustainable food sources, create cleaner fuels, combat disease, and reduce our environmental footprint.

You may be eligible to complete this Masters program in one year, meaning you’ll be ready for your career in no time. Our alumni are also eligible to receive a 10% discount on tuition fees. Contact us now to book a personal consultation with A/Prof Anwar Sunna, program director, to find out more.
