History
In September 2006, Bio21 formed a partnership with Australian-based global bio-pharmaceutical company CSL Limited. 50 scientists from CSL were relocated to participate in activities at the Bio21. The goal of the partnership was for Bio21 to gain the expertise of industry professionals and for CSL to gain access to state-of-the-art equipment.{{cite news |title=CSL scientists move to Melbourne Uni |work=NineMSN |agency=AAP |date=2006 |url=http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=65820 |accessdate=1 January 2008 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060920095034/http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=65820 |archivedate=20 September 2006 |df=dmy-all }}{{cite journal |last=Scott |first=Rebecca |title=Bio21 Inst to host CSL scientists |journal=UniNews |volume=15 |number=17 |publisher=University of Melbourne |date=2006 |url=http://uninews.unimelb.edu.au/news/3671/ |accessdate=1 January 2008 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080912023818/http://uninews.unimelb.edu.au/news/3671/ |archivedate=12 September 2008 |df=dmy-all }}File:Bio21 Institute.jpg
