Dr Tim Adams leads CSIRO's research into biosciences.

Dr Amanda Barnard's work is increasing our understanding of how nanoparticles interact with the environment.

Dr Voytek Gutowski is known nationally and internationally for his work in developing and commercialising multifunctional surfaces and interphases for bonding and electrostatic coating of polymers, composites, wood and bio-based materials.

Collaborative Crystallisation Centre (C3) collaborates with a range of research groups that are readily equipped to enhance your overall research strategy or provide assistance in developing your research at any of the discreet stages.

The Recombinant Protein Production and Purification Facility is for academic and industry researchers and is part of the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy program.

CSIRO’s Biomolecular Interaction Facility specialises in the application of sensor platform technology to resolve the binding specificity, kinetic parameters and affinity associated with molecular interactions.

CSIRO’s textile testing laboratory offers consultancy services and access to fast, cost-effective textile research and development.

All textile producers and processors must meet tough new standards if they want to do business in Europe. CSIRO’s internationally accredited chemical testing service is assisting the wool industry comply with Europe’s Eco-label requirements.
 

CSIRO Industrial Research Services (IRS) provides an extensive range of independent testing, assessment and consulting services to support the development of better building products and systems, and to improve the competitiveness of Australia’s manufacturing, building and construction industries.

You want something impossibly smooth, round or flat? At the Australian Centre for Precision Optics we’ve been manufacturing with precision for more than fifty years.

Businesses large and small, Australian and overseas, routinely use CSIRO's fibre and textile processing facilities for small batches that require custom processing conditions.

CSIRO is conducting scientific research into artworks and cultural heritage projects.

The developers of Reversible Addition Fragmentation-chain Transfer (RAFT) technology, CSIRO and DuPont, have enhanced their technology transfer and licensing program to enable companies to more easily access the technology.

The Victorian Direct Manufacturing Centre has been established in Melbourne by a consortium led by CSIRO to help make the state’s manufacturing industries more environmentally friendly, productive and globally competitive.

CSIRO has signed a global licensing agreement for its patented RAFT technology. Reversible Addition-Fragmentation chain Transfer (or RAFT) technology is an elegant and powerful polymerisation process that has given rise to a new branch of polymer chemistry.

An internationally respected researcher responsible for major breakthroughs in the development of polymer technologies, CSIRO’s Dr Ezio Rizzardo, has been elected as a Fellow of the United Kingdom’s prestigious Royal Society.
