Dr Laura Navone is a Synthetic Biologist with expertise in the areas of protein production and industrial biotechnology. Navone has focused her last eight years of research on understanding protein folding and secretion pathways in yeast, developing a molecular toolbox to overcome bottlenecks in protein production for precision fermentation technologies. Her research and development have provided outputs for the industrial manufacturing of proteins for Australian industries. In the last 12 months, she has led the development of recombinant milk protein production strains at Eden Brew.

Milena Bojovic is a PhD candidate in geography and planning at the School of Social Sciences at Macquarie University, Sydney.
