Dr John Byron Principal Policy Advisor, QUT

Meeting Summary:

The Premier visited the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and met with senior executives from the MIT Sloan School of Management.

The purpose of the visit was to profile Queensland and discuss collaborative opportunities with Queensland universities including the MIT Global Entrepreneurship Bootcamp and the MIT Regional Entrepreneurship Acceleration Program (REAP).

MIT provided an overview of their MIT Bootcamps and REAP programs. QUT has worked with MIT Bootcamp to host two MIT Global Entrepreneurship Bootcamps in Brisbane, in March 2017 and in February 2018.

There was wide ranging discussion about the changing nature of work and for young people to become “CEOs of their own lives”. In the future, many young people will choose not to work for someone else but to become an entrepreneur. MIT outlined how it is approaching this new environment – with a strong focus on Open Learning. Together with Harvard, MIT has established EdEx, to provide open learning over the internet. This service now has 200 million users. Now MIT is pioneering Micro Masters, that enable students who complete a number of online courses through EdEx to reenrol in MIT. QUT student Nathan Oliver is one of the first – he is studying a Masters on Supply Management.

Queensland’s leadership in coding and robotics was discussed and MIT emphasises that coding needs to be the second language of young people. New models of education include both content innovation – teaching coding and robotics even to children in pre-school – but also changes in the way children are taught, to a model of coaching. The two university

37

schools supported by the Queensland Government are an example of new ways of undertaking education.

The Premier congratulated QUT and MIT Sloan School of Business on their successful relationship and encouraged them to continue building on the success of the existing Bootcamp partnership.

During the visit it was also announced that the MIT Reap Team Queensland has been selected to host the January 2019 workshop, the only workshop in the two-years held outside of Boston.

With the strong input of mayors, the MIT REAP was extensively discussed. The conversation had a strong emphasis on the scope for entrepreneurship to prevent negative consequences for regions in a fast changing world. REAP will bring together different regions from across the world to understand how to take advantage of their individual strengths. REAP includes a shared understanding of how innovation and entrepreneurship works – and the tools to enable it. Lastly, the program enables participants to turn these insights into a strategy. The challenge is to bring everyone together. The key message was for regions to not try to be someone else – but to focus on their own unique strengths.

The MIT REAP workshop will lead into the next MIT Bootcamp to be held at QUT on 2-8 February 2019. This is the third MIT Bootcamp entrepreneurship program to be held at QUT in partnership with Advance Queensland, following successful Bootcamps in February this year and March 2017.

MIT REAP teams are made up of personnel from universities, business, government, risk capital and the entrepreneurial community. QUT is a partner in Team Queensland, along with Rio Tinto, Blue Sky Ventures, Redeye.co, the Queensland Government and the Office of the Queensland Chief Entrepreneur.

Attending the three-day workshop (29 January – 1 February 2019) will be members of the cohort teams from King Abdullah Economic City (Saudi Arabia), Quito (Ecuador), Lebanon, Ghana, Algeria, Yakutia (Russia), and Melbourne, as well as MIT leaders.

The Premier received a tour of MIT’s Nano Building and robotics facility.

The Premier met with senior executives from the Charles Stark Draper Laboratories, Translational Research Institute (TRI) and Siemens Healthineers to receive a briefing on R&D on Artificial Intelligence (AI), mass data, and data imaging and how these play an evolving role for medicine.

The Charles Stark Draper Laboratories provided an overview of their operations, the cutting-edge research being conducted at their facility, and the progress being made in translational research undertaken as part of the Translational Research Institutes’ (TRI) Innovation and Translation Centre (IATC).

39

IATC is a collaboration between Siemens Healthineers, Europe's largest engineering firm, TRI, the Queensland University of Technology and Queensland Health, with $3.25 million from the Queensland Government's Advance Queensland initiative.

Key components of the IATC were presented. Magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy is being developed to measure and map changes in brain chemistry in order to identify injury from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and blasts in soldiers and police forces.

New classifiers for detecting medical issues are being developed. This is about using MR spectroscopy for creating virtual biopsy for health concerns. The data being provided through TRI was recognised for its high value to this process. Machine learning is proving to be useful in these developments, however there was discussion about the need to be aware of the challenges to the method, including separability/ambiguity in data, identifying data overlaps, overfitting of data for purpose, and validation of data.

AI is also being used for improving healthcare, including improving the patient experience, care delivery models and precision medicine.

The Premier discussed how Queensland science is partnering with the international expertise of Draper Laboratories, particularly the role that the $3.25 million Advance Queensland investment has played in advancing the partnership.

The Premier congratulated Professor Mountford and the team at TRI, for developing the strategic relationship with Siemens Healthineers.

QUT Biotechnology Luncheon


Venue: Staffordshire Room, Level 3, Westin Copley Place

Event Summary:

The luncheon event provided an opportunity for QUT to showcase its strengths in life sciences, in particular through strategic collaborations such as with Stryker and Johnson and Johnson Vision Care (J&JVC).

QUT highlighted their long term relationship with Stryker’s medical robotics program. QUT is using Stryker's surgical robot (the Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology) at their Medical Engineering Research Facility, located on the Prince Charles Hospital Campus.

The Premier observed the signing of two agreements:

- An agreement with QUT bluebox to exclusively license the development of a promising preclinical anti-cancer drug to CARP Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd based in Brisbane. The drug, DKLS02, could potentially be used for different types of cancers including solid tumour cancers such as lung cancer, advanced prostate cancer and melanoma

- Precision BioSciences and QUT forming a strategic partnership to target innovation efforts towards the development of more resilient and nutritious tropical and sub-tropical horticultural and grain crops.

Prior to the luncheon, the Premier met senior representatives of QUT and Mr Robert Cohen, Vice-President of Global R&D and Chief Technology Officer, Joint Replacement, Stryker.
