Farmers across the world could soon access disease-resistant crops using technology discovered by researchers from The University of Queensland after Brisbane start-up Nexgen Plants secured $3 million in investor backing.
The Australian biotech company, launched by UQ’s commercialisation arm UniQuest in 2013, today received $1.5 million from the Queensland Government’s Business Development Fund (BDF), matched by existing investors Uniseed ($500,000) and Yuuwa Capital ($1 million).
