The People's Republic of China has honoured one of Australia's most experienced polymer chemists with a new research posting.

In a new collaboration between China and The University of Queensland, Research Professor Robert (Bob) Gilbert is among the first foreign appointees of ?1000 experts? provided generous incentives to establish state-of-the-art research facilities in China.

Professor Gilbert, from UQ's Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Innovation (QAAFI), is recognised internationally for his discoveries in fundamental polymer science; his research on starch structure and nutrition, and on diabetes.
