"One of the greatest gifts of research is not only to impart knowledge, but to inspire the leaders of tomorrow." — Prof. Hala Zreiqat AM
Founded on the belief that innovation knows no age, BIOTech Futures began when Prof. Hala Zreiqat travelled to Jordan to share her research with high school students — and realised that inspiring future leaders was just as important as the research itself. In 2019, that vision became the BIO Challenge, uniting 200 students with 50 academics from the University of Sydney to tackle real medical problems. From those early beginnings, BIOTech Futures has grown into a national community dedicated to shaping the future of bioengineering.
