MALDI-ID CEO receives 40Under40 award

15/03/2019

Our CEO Dr De Meyer has received the prestigious WA Business News award for transforming her academic research into MALDI-ID in just three years. She was also named as one of the 40under40 winners.

It is such a reward for all the hard work we have put into making the research available to our Australian farmers. “It empowers farmers to make their farming more sustainable and efficient, and this is what I’m most proud of,” Dr De Meyer said in an interview with Murdoch University.

We also like to take the opportunity to thank Murdoch University for its ongoing support.

MALDI-ID has won a 2018 Science and Innovation Award from the Australian Government.


The grant worth $22,000 was sponsored by the Grain Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) and will help to expand our root nodule identification tool RHIZO-ID to include grain legumes.

This will allow for quick and accurate feedback to producers regarding the type of rhizobia in the legume root nodules.

During the official ceremony, Dr De Meyer had the honour of personally receiving the award from Daryl Quinlivan, secretary of the Department of Agriculture and Water resources in Canberra on March the 6th 2018.
