Read about the transformative partnerships delivering breakthrough outcomes:

Sanofi

UQ and Sanofi have a longstanding relationship to develop the future of medicines. Sanofi agreed to acquire ViceBio, a company formed to develop UQ’s Molecular Clamp vaccine technology. This acquisition is the largest deal involving a company commercialising intellectual property from an Australian university.

Sanofi and UQ, along with Griffith University and the Queensland Government, are also key partners in the Translational Science Hub (TSH) to accelerate mRNA-based vaccine development.

Arup

Arup is one of the world’s leading professional services providers in the built environment. In the lead-up to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, UQ and Arup have partnered to collaborate on projects that will shape South East Queensland.

This will include contributing to the Victoria Park Precinct Master Plan, where UQ’s graduate talent and research expertise can complement Arup’s global experience to deliver lasting social, economic and environmental impact.
