Hybrid antioxidant nanocarriers for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that yearly affects 50 million people worldwide, a number estimated to grow to 139 million in 2050. Read more
Integrative approach to valorise vegetable waste
The FAO estimates that around one third of all food produced worldwide is not consumed, which represents around 1.3 billion tons per year, and is wasted throughout the whole food chain, from farmers to consumers. Read more
Translational potential of novel mitochondrial-targeted nanoparticles encapsulating hydrogen sulphide as modulators of neurological disease.
Neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease occur due to the progressive and irreversible degeneration of nerve cells. Read more
Investigating effects of environmental stressors on ecosystem function using hyperspectral leaf reflectance
There is an increasing urgency to understand the biochemical and physiological responses of plants to global environmental change. Read more
Spatio-temporal dynamics of reactive oxygen species in mixed biofilms
Bacterial cells typically live in a spatially structured community known as a biofilm. Understanding of how cells in a mixed biofilm modify micro-environments and generate complex temporal environmental variations is still poor. Read more
High-throughput screening of new bioactive peptides
The opportunity. A fully funded scholarship is available for domestic and international students at the Industrial Transformation Training Centre for Facilitated Advancement of Australia’s Bioactives (FAAB) which is a multi-disciplinary consortium of 4 Universities and 13 Partner Organisations. Read more
Investigating the interaction of La related proteins with colliding ribosomes
Translation of mRNA into proteins is a critical cellular biological process for all life. This requires ribosomes to act with an array of translation factors to decode mRNA sequences. Read more
Safer, scalable, and modifiable polymer-based lipid nanocapsules for drug delivery
Lipid nanocapsules (LNCs) are very interesting nanoformulations as they can be made by phase inversion technique (PIT), a scalable method with predictable particle size at the beginning of the preparation process. Read more
Discovery of Novel Nrf2 Activators from Australian Indigenous Plants
The Drug Discovery group within the School of Medicine at Western Sydney University has been actively involved in the discovery of novel antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents including Nrf2 activators (Singh A, Raju R, Münch G. Read more
Valorisation of food biowaste to develop Layer-by-Layer functional products towards biomedicine
The growing awareness regarding environmental sustainability has fully reached business reality. Consumers and companies alike are looking for alternatives to mitigate pressing environmental demands resulting from continuous population and economic growth. Read more
Pathophysiology of red cell membrane permeability
Our project investigates how red cell membrane permeability is altered in pathophysiological states. Read more
Understanding the mechanisms of metabolic reprogramming in cancer: towards novel therapies
In this project, you will examine whether drug-resistant and drug-sensitive cancer cells display distinct metabolic features and aim to do a series of laboratory experiments to investigate the ability of probes, or drugs, to starve cancer cells of glucose. Read more
Low density lipoprotein oxidation and atherosclerosis
Project overview. The research in Professor David Leake’s group is concerned with atherosclerosis, the underlying cause of coronary heart disease and thrombotic strokes. Read more
