Unparalleled Track Record
The University of Queensland is one of Australia’s top three universities, for start-up companies, income generated from licences to industry, and the number of commercialisation staff working through organisations like UniQuest.
Uniquest is one of UQ’s commercialisation arms and is a national leader in this field.
Through PACE, UQ can actively help industry to establish collaborative relationships with its embedded research teams across the Princess Alexandra Hospital, Diamantina Institute, Translational Research Institute, the Institute of Molecular Bioscience and the University’s other high performing research centres.

Queensland Government
The Pharmacy Australia Centre of Excellence is a leading example of the Queensland Government's Smart State Strategy in action. In this context, PACE is an important contributor to the ongoing planning and development of the Princess Alexandra Hospital Science and Education Precinct and the associated 109 Central concept embracing the PAH and three other proximate, complementary science precincts.
The State Government's investment in PACE, through the provision of land, will provide a vital return on investment for Queenslanders in the form of new drugs and drug therapies, and new, improved health services, all designed to improve human health.
It will also strengthen the State's knowledge and skills base through leadership in training the pharmacists of the future and stronger research partnerships, thereby enabling it to be at forefront in addressing global as well local pharmacy-related challenges.
