UniQuest helped to establish two biotechnology Contract Research Organisations related to University of Queensland research, which provide specialised and internationally recognised clinical research services to the pharmaceutical industry and other research institutions. 

TetraQ was established in 2005 as the first contract research organization in Australia to provide integrated preclinical services to the global pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Its state-of-the-art facilities and equipment meet stringent quality and testing standards, and its bioanalytical work is accepted internationally for regulatory review, providing clients in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries with a high degree of assurance.
 
Emerging from UQ’s Centre for Studies in Drug Disposition, Q-Pharm Pty Limited has grown rapidly since 2002 to become a major provider of Phase 1 clinical trial services to national and international clients. It also conducts Phase I clinical trials, pharmacokinetic studies and bioequivalence studies from its state-of-the-art facilities within the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital.
