About

The ARC Digital Bioprocess Development Hub aims to address key bioprocessing research challenges through digital innovation and the development of new process and digital models that can predict and optimise manufacturing processes, resulting in greater yields, faster and more flexible processes and enhanced product stability.

The Hub is a 5-year collaborative program of significant scope and scale with contributions from all partners of more than $18M (cash and in kind). This includes $5M of funding awarded in 2021 by the Commonwealth Government through the ARC’s Industrial Transformation Research Program.

An interdisciplinary team of engineers, scientists and computing specialists are working to develop digitally integrated advanced manufacturing processes and a platform for industry adoption. The Hub aims to transform biopharmaceutical manufacturing and unlock growth opportunities to forge an internationally competitive Australian Biopharma sector.
