Queensland Collaborative Science Centre

The QCSC is a regional research lab with a focus on neuromuscular disorders. Working in collaboration with a number of research institutes across the country, we utilise molecular biology techniques to unravel the underlying mechanisms that influence disease progression in conditions such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Since we opened in Maryborough, we have had an increadible number of families indicate their desire to have their children participate in science activities locally.

We are committed to ensuring any student with a love of science on the Fraser Coast is able to access science activities that feed their imagination. To this end, we will work with the community to provide as many resources as possible to ensure science can flourish in Maryborough and beyond.

Due to our time constraints when in the lab, this facebook page has been established as a portal for families to stay informed of any activities in the area.

As the school holiday programme are activities we co-ordinate for the community separately to our research commitments, please be patient if you do not hear back from one of our team straight away ... thank you :)
