How GPCR Collaboration Built an Innovation Engine

Collaboration isn’t a soft skill — it’s an innovation strategy.

At Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, a quiet experiment challenged the traditional PI-silo model: no private labs, shared infrastructure, pooled funding, and student rotations.

The result? An ecosystem where GPCR innovation accelerated — not because of a single star scientist, but because the system itself made collaboration unavoidable.

“No one had their own lab. That meant no one could build a fiefdom — and everyone had to talk.” — Michelle Halls

This structure:

• Multiplied research capacity

• Attracted talent and funding

• Created a durable innovation hub
  

This is more than a story — it’s a blueprint for GPCR science, biotech R&D, and CRO partnerships.
