• Commercial mentoring and pitch support via programs like NextGen, LuminaX and AmplifyTech
• Shared access to wet labs and co-working spaces
• Investor connections and non-dilutive grant pathways
• Clinical and regulatory partner introductions for downstream planning

Biotech companies based in the precinct can tap into a high-quality translational ecosystem, built to fast-track R&D and support commercial success.

We help you engage early with clinicians and patients to ensure clinical relevance and commercial alignment. We can:

• Connect you with clinicians across 40+ specialties at Gold Coast University Hospital
• Facilitate pilot studies in real-world clinical settings (acute, rehab, community)
• Provide access to diverse patient groups via Griffith Health Clinics and allied health networks
• Enable co-design and usability testing with multidisciplinary teams
• Support prototype testing in a high-fidelity simulated hospital environment
• Integrate digital tools with live health platforms and EHR systems
• Help define clinical endpoints and outcome measures
• Navigate ethics and governance pathways for smooth pilot initiation
• Advise on collecting real-world evidence for regulatory and reimbursement success
• Link you with clinical trial infrastructure and investigator networks

Our unique environment accelerates pilot delivery, provides meaningful clinical input, and lays the foundation for scale-up.

We provide end-to-end support to take your innovation from concept to clinical validation with confidence. We can:

• Assist with protocol design, feasibility, and regulatory documentation
• Connect you with clinical investigators and trial-ready teams in key therapeutic areas
• Facilitate patient recruitment across diverse hospital and community networks
• Provide lab services (biobanking, PK, immunology) through the Institute for Biomedicine & Glycomics
• Ensure GCP compliance via dedicated coordination and data management
• Enable early assessments of safety, efficacy, and tolerability in accredited settings
• Link you with academic collaborators for translational insights

Our integrated ecosystem ensures global-quality clinical trials with the rigour to support regulatory success.

We support biotech companies as they scale toward commercial launch with access to specialised infrastructure, expertise, and regulatory guidance. We can:

• Provide GMP-compliant cleanrooms for pilot-scale biologics, diagnostics, and cell/gene therapy production
• Support formulation, process optimisation, and analytics via the Griffith Analytical & Formulation Laboratory
• Assist with stability testing, release specs, and regulatory-ready documentation
• Enable prototyping of delivery devices and integrated platforms through Griffith PRECISE
• Offer usability testing and simulated clinical environments for human factors validation
• Connect you with regulatory experts to shape market authorisation strategies
• Facilitate GMP-readiness assessments and quality system development
• Link you with CRO/CDMOs and manufacturing partners for scale-up
• Help prepare technical dossiers and validation reports for TGA, FDA, or EMA
• Provide pathways to investors, mentors, and scale-up programs

We provide your biotech venture with the tools to streamline production, reduce risk, and accelerate market readiness.

We help biotech companies overcome commercialisation barriers and scale locally and globally through deep industry and health system engagement. We can:

• Facilitate direct access to clinicians, health leaders, and procurement teams via the Gold Coast Health Innovation Office
• Support real-world validation through embedded hospital and community testbeds
• Connect you with export and trade support via Trade & Investment Queensland and INVEST Gold Coast
• Provide access to national commercialisation programs, investors, and regulatory guidance through LSQ and MTPConnect
