Monoclonal antibody therapies for the treatment of wounds and other skin conditions. Our pre-clinical studies show that a protein that inhibits wound healing can be neutralised in wounds using a patented antibody therapy. While the initial focus of our clinical development plan is around the development of an orphan drug for the treatment of the rare skin blistering disease epidermolysis bullosa (EB), we ultimately foresee the expansion of this new wound treatment into the larger global wound market and expect to be in clinical trials in EB patients by 2018. We are supported by biotech spinout company AbRegen Pty Ltd and looking for partnering opportunities to advance these studies towards clinical trials.

University of Tasmania

A/Prof Laurie Bonney
Director of ARC ITRH Pathways to Market Program 
Your interests
Laurie conducts systems research into how collaborative innovation or ‘co-innovation’ can be achieved in value chains and industries. This involves understanding the dynamics of physical product flows, chain communication/information and relationships (governance) in delivering value to consumers and competitive advantage to the chain partners. The output can be used for diagnosing and improving existing value chains or establishing new chains, identifying high impact bio-physical and social research, developing prescriptive data analytics that can transform chains, determining the focus of public and private investment, evaluating industries or regions, and developing agribusiness ecosystems and innovation platforms. He has gained wide experience and business cultural understanding whilst conducting food value chain research in a number of Asian countries inc. China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, PNG.
