SUMMARY:Livestream: The Engine\, MIT
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 18th April\, Breakfast Session 7 – 8.30am \nThe Engine\, built by MIT\, is a venture firm investing in the next generation of Tough Tech: a transformative and broad approach applying cutting edge technology to solve challenges in human health\, climate change\, and advanced systems and infrastructure. By transforming the foundations of industry\, we unlock massive opportunities for a more sustainable\, resilient world. \nTough Tech\nWhat is “Tough Technology” and are we doing enough to support its development in Western Australia? \nTough Technology is based around science. Its development typically requires long time horizons\, large-scale investment and access to expensive equipment. It generally involves the development of something physical which may impact the clean energy\, life sciences\, robotics\, nanomanufacturing and infrastructure sectors. \nThe Engine\nThe Engine\, built by MIT\, is a Boston-based facility which fosters early-stage “tough technology” companies. It’s portfolio includes 44 startups and over US$600m under management across three VC funds. The Engine’s portfolio includes Commonwealth Fusion Systems\, which is developing a fusion-powered electricity generator\, and Mori\, which recently raised US$50m in Series B1 financing to support its development of a natural coating to reduce food spoilage. \nCERI Event\nAs part of our CERI Speaker Series\, The Engine’s Business Development Manager\, Hayden McFarlane has kindly offered to provide us with an online overview of The Engine. \nJoin us at CERI for this engaging breakfast session at 7.00 am on Tuesday the 18th April. Places are limited so please register HERE

SUMMARY:Flow interactions with seaweed and implications for offshore aquaculture
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will provide a background to offshore seaweed aquaculture including an Australian perspective\, the biophysical effects arising from interaction with waves and currents and an overview of current projects in offshore seaweed aquaculture. \nWe’ll touch on the opportunities for cultivating macroalgae in the open ocean\, required adaptation to high energy environments along with the required system design and supporting technologies. Lastly we will cover the seaweed-ocean interaction processes and the current research gaps in seaweed hydrodynamics. \nA Q&A will follow the presentations. \nPresentations:\n1. An introduction to offshore seaweed aquaculture including an Australian perspective\, scoping study findings relevant to the ocean environment/hydrodynamics.\nPresented by Dr Wouter Visch\, Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies\, University of Tasmania \n2. Biophysical effects arising from interaction with waves and currents.\nPresented by Dr Louise Kregting \n3. An overview of current projects in offshore seaweed aquaculture.\nPresented by Professor Bela Buck \n4. Seaweed-ocean interaction processes\, research gaps in seaweed hydrodynamics.\nPresented by Professor Ryan Lowe

SUMMARY:WA MTP Sector Spotlight Series ft. Alcolizer Technology
DESCRIPTION:Our monthly series is an opportunity for representatives from across the MTP sector to connect\, collaborate and learn about upcoming opportunities\, and hear the stories and successes of WA organisations developing health and medical innovations. Join us over light refreshments each month at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research. \nThis month’s event will feature insights from Dr Olga Shimoni from Alcolizer Technology. Hear as Dr Shimoni discusses the organisation’s road to global-scale commercialisation\, and the pivot to COVID-19 diagnostics. \nDetails \nThursday 27 April 2023\, from 3:30-5:00pm AWST \nGround Floor Auditorium at Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research\, 6 Verdun Street Nedlands. \nAgenda \n3:30pm Informal networking (COVID restrictions permitting) at ground floor of the Perkins Institute with light refreshments \n4:00pm Guided fireside chat \n5:00pm Event close \nThis month’s event features Alcolizer Technology. \n  \nAbout Alcolizer Technology \nAlcolizer Technology is a world-leader in the field of Alcohol and other Drugs (AOD) testing and has been one of the world’s leading manufacturers of alcohol breath testing equipment for over 25 years\, servicing law enforcement agencies\, industry and personal users. \nIn 2021\, Alciolizer was one of six companies to share in funding under the Government’s $30 million Commercialisation Fund\, which brings together industry and researchers on job-creating projects. Alcolizer’s project focused on a new medical device called the ‘Virulizer’ in partnership with the University of Sydney. The device is a mass market saliva-based antigen test designed to detect COVID-19 in asymptomatic and symptomatic patients within 15 minutes. \n  \nAbout our speaker – Dr Olga Shimoni \nDr Olga Shimoni is a Senior Scientist at Alcolizer Technology\, leading R&D into a novel diagnostic test for infectious diseases.
