📢 We're recruiting! The new year brings some new projects and we're expanding existing project teams too! Check out switchlab.org/job-openings to see the exciting positions we are looking to fill! 🙏 re-tweet!

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming a group of Tsinghua University students, who visited LIMS after meeting our friends at ONJ Cancer Research Institute. They had the opportunity to meet some of our leading scientists, and discuss our research, tour our facilities, and more. A wonderful afternoon!

It is an exciting time with the installation of the first-ever MultiPep in Australia. This SPOT system will significantly help us to push forward of our current research on membrane active peptide/mimetics!
