Dr Pie Huda is a protein engineer and research fellow at the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN), at the University of Queensland (UQ). Her research focus on development of antibodies, antibody fragments and antibody mimetics as targeting tools for nanomaterials, drugs and probes in applications such as radiopharmaceuticals. Pie is uniquely positioned at UQ, working under Professor David Owen who is the director of the Protein Expression Facility (PEF), enabling access to state-of-the-art instrumentation and specialised capabilities. She has collaborated with several Australian biotech industry partners and academic groups in the development of targeting biologics.
