The chief scientific officer of Adelaide’s TGR BioSciences, Dr Michael Crouch, has won the annual Advancing BioBusiness Award.

Part of the prize is a trip to the BIO convention in Atlanta, Georgia, this May.

The award is funded by pharma company Merck Sharp & Dohme and the expat organisation Advance.

TGR makes a range of cell-based assays for use in automated systems. Crouch said he hoped to advance his contacts with the pharmaceutical industry and explore new partnerships to develop bio-markers to assist the university and research institute sector as well as pharma and biotech.
