Assoc. Prof. Sonia Liu wins a prestigious Australian Research Council (ARC) Industry Fellowship
As the adage goes, “Success begets success”. Congratulations to Dr Sonia Liu who has won the ARC Early Career Industry Fellowship. This is on top of her ARC Linkage Project earlier this year worth over a million dollars to examine the use of reduced protein diets in poultry production.

A New Era for the Poultry Research Foundation
We have recently been given the green light to officially become a Research Centre within the University. The transition changes PRF from a Foundation deemed a fundraising body under Australian Consumer Law to a university research entity aligned with the poultry and allied industries. As a result, PRF will retain its name as well as the Industry Council as an advisory body.
