Advanced manufacturing of paediatric formulations with poorly water soluble drugs
This project employs an advanced manufacturing technique, microwave-induced in situ amorphization, in combination with a wide range of characterization techniques to tackle the consistent stability issue of amorphous solid dispersions as a means of improving the dissolution performance of paediatric personalised formulations with poorly water soluble drugs.

Novel drug combination bullets for improved targeting of oncogenic signaling pathways driving high-risk paediatric cancer
Research Group:
Translational Tumour Biology
More than 140 children with cancer die in Australia each year due to the occurrence of resistance to traditional chemotherapy. Read more
Development of paediatric-centred anti-malaria nanotherapeutic formulations using an advanced continuous manufacturing technology
Malaria is a life-threatening infectious disease caused by the plasmodium protozoan parasite passed through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Read more
Assessing the contribution of the human microbiome to paediatric cancer and predisposition and chromosomal instability syndromes
A self-funded PhD studentship is available in the laboratories of Andrew McBain, Stefan Meyer and Chris Knight. The project aims to study the microbiome in paediatric cancer predisposition and chromosomal instability syndromes (CIS). Read more
Integrative data analysis: from novel biomarker-drug response associations to predicting effective drug combinations
Research Group:
Translational Tumour Biology
More than 140 children with cancer die in Australia each year due to the occurrence of resistance to traditional chemotherapy. To improve overall survival rates for high-risk paediatric cancer patients, the Children’s Cancer Institute initiated the Zero Childhood Cancer national personalised medicine trial (PRISM). Read more

Improving the detection of Developmental Hip Dysplasia in Infants
Description. Developmental Dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a problem of the hip in babies. Babies can be born with a hip that is completely out of the socket (‘dislocated’), or one that wobbles in and out (‘subluxes’). Read more
Machine learning to stratify psoriatic arthritis in children and adults
Psoriatic arthritis can have onset in child or adulthood, from infants to the elderly. It is a highly heterogenous disease, with features potentially affecting the joints, skin, nails and scalp. Read more
Development and Machine Learning-based Drug Release Prediction of Age-appropriate Combined Therapy
This project is proposed to develop age-appropriate (geriatric/paediatric) combined therapy with poorly water soluble drug(s) using advanced manufacturing methods, i.e. Read more
Identifying hidden inherited metabolic diseases in the UK population
Inherited metabolic diseases are rare diseases associated with genetic variants that impair enzymes, leading to accumulation of substrates. Many of… Read more
