Brisbane, Australia
Protagonist’s discovery platform was first conceived in the world-class research labs of the University of Queensland (UQ)—a fixture of Brisbane’s dynamic and growing life sciences community. There, our scientific founder, Mark Smythe, PhD, applied a deep understanding of combinatorial chemistry and molecular design to the development of tools for the discovery of novel drug compounds. Today, in addition to his leadership at Protagonist, Mark remains a Principal Research Fellow and Group Leader at UQ’s Institute for Molecular Biosciences. Meanwhile, our Brisbane office has become a fixture, in its own right, of the area’s rich innovation ecosystem.
The advantages of our Brisbane office go well beyond the 280 days of sunshine enjoyed there per year. Today, our R&D scientists in Brisbane work hand-in-glove with our U.S. team to keep projects moving forward around the clock. A sought-after destination, Brisbane attracts top talent from across Australia, southeast Asia, and beyond.
