Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre - MMIC

It is very positive to see CSL expanding their operations in Melbourne both for the company and for the future health of the sector and all people in the Australian region. We look forward to continuing to support our friends and colleagues at CSL to continue innovating, manufacturing, and preparing us for the future.

Congratulations to Russell Hayward, ganesh raj and the whole etiraRx team. We have had the pleasure of working with ERX-315 on its journey across the rickety bridge over the "Valley of Death". In any good story, there are always a few more experiments and a few more problems to solve but this one is a thriller that promises an exciting finale.

El Centro de Innovación en Fabricación de Medicamentos (MMIC) trabaja con innovadores de todo el mundo para desarrollar formulaciones para nuevos compuestos o para la reutilización de medicamentos existentes. La formulación es a menudo una de las partes menos interesantes de la historia de la innovación, pero es vital para trasladar el descubrimiento a la clínica o la fabricación GMP. La atractiva configuración fiscal de I D y el entorno de ensayos clínicos hacen de Melbourne un destino atractivo para todos los innovadores en el espacio farmacéutico. Please feel welcome to reach out to the Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre - MMIC team.

We were pleased to welcome colleagues from Shimadzu Scientific Australasia on a visit to the Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre - MMIC's new laboratory based at the ANSTO Australian Synchrotron in #Melbourne last week. Shimadzu has been a supporter of analytical science at the MMIC and in our sister laboratory, the HMSTrust Analytical Chemistry laboratory at Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, for many years. The relationship remains an excellent demonstration of how collaboration around technology can drive innovation through an entire sector and into surrounding space.

#Melbourne is also our home and an amazing place to discover new science and technology, to advance pharmaceutical science, medtech, materials science, and health. The Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre - MMIC is proud of our team and facilities but more enthusiastic about the success of our clients. Feel welcome to make contact and perhaps enjoy the Melbourne experience.

These two photos say a lot about the invaluable breadth of Paul Wynne's contributions to the MMIC. The photo on the left was taken at the very start in 2017, with optimism and extensive planning to set up this new innovation centre. Fast forward over seven years, and Paul stands at the entrance of a new, purpose-built facility at the Australian Synchrotron, expanding our footprint across two facilities at Parkville to Clayton. Although there have been many more achievements and milestones in the intervening years, Paul’s vision and dedication in shaping the MMIC have been instrumental to what it is today. His commitment to mentoring and developing our experienced team of subject matter experts in formulation, analytical and synthetic chemistry, respiratory delivery and biological therapeutics has allowed the MMIC to flourish. It has provided us with a strong foundation for continued growth. Beyond his contributions to our team, Paul has also been a key figure in fostering relationships with companies across Australia and internationally. These collaborations have ensured that MMIC continues supporting our clients with advanced problem-solving and research and development support. Through these partnerships, the Centre has contributed to the formulation of nine products that have advanced into clinical trials, been listed as inventors on multiple patents, and supported job creation in the Victorian pharmaceutical and medtech sectors, including manufacturing, clinical trials, and research institutes. Many past students participating in our internship program have also attested to Paul's patience and wise words in guiding them to discern the career opportunities that lie ahead. While Paul’s departure marks the end of an era, we are inspired by his unwavering commitment, leadership, and support over the years. We wish him the very best in his future endeavours and hope to continue building on the strong foundation he has laid for us.

Applicants should have prior experience or are currently enrolled in a relevant degree in pharmaceutical science, chemical engineering, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry or biotechnology Apply here: https://lnkd.in/gAU4buiy

The Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre - MMIC has welcomed some amazing clients and equally brilliant projects into our laboratories over the past few years. In a crowded gallery, etiraRx's ERX-315 is a favourite for the clever design and the challenges this brilliant molecule threw at the team to overcome, but more importantly for its promise to future generations of cancer patients. In true Australian style, the etiraRx team are now more than just clients - they are friends and colleagues and their continuing success is a part of our mission.

Thank you to the Labconco and John Morris team for helping us commission our new Triad freeze-dryer at our recently opened Clayton facility. The new system will enhance our existing freeze-drying capabilities with advanced temperature controls and in-situ vial capping features. Using this new tool, the MMIC team aims to develop advanced, scalable formulations to stabilise and deliver new and emerging biological therapeutics for our industry clients and institutional partners.
