ON Prime is a CSIRO program designed to create connections between research, science and business to develop big sci-tech ideas. More than 160 researchers from across Australia have been selected for ON Prime in teams. These teams will be helped to validate their science and technology ideas in the lab as well as to commercialise them. They will commence an eight-week program in one of five ON Prime 'hubs' across the country this week, supported by funds provided through the National Innovation and Science Agenda. I'm honored to be chosen as a mentor for the BiomarX team which has identified a new non-invasive diagnostic test that can detect the presence of endometrial cancer.
