The Development of Improved Treatments for Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis
Germs such as bacteria develop the ability to overcome the medicines designed to kill them, which limits our ability to successfully treat bacterial infections and leads to millions of additional deaths worldwide each year. Read more
New Hybrid C-H Functionalisation and Photochemical Strategies for Chemical Synthesis
This project aims to develop new synthetic methods that deliver increased efficiency and precision in the synthesis of spirocyclic sp3-rich molecules. Read more
Large scale emergency response planning and operational decision making using parallel and distributed Agent Based, GIS and hazard distribution modelling

Drug releasing silk foam - Biocompatibility and drug release characterisation of silk foams and aerogels for ENT applications
As part of the Hearing Therapeutics research team at the Ear Science Institute Australia (ESIA), this project aims to develop new silk biomaterials to treat chronic middle ear disease and other ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) medical conditions. Read more
Development of novel photochromic dye-polymer conjugates
This is an opportunity for a highly motivated and skilled individual (must be an Australian citizen) to undertake a PhD in the Department of Materials Science… Read more
IMPACT OF BIOLOGICAL AMENDMENTS ON MICROBIAL DIVERSITY AND SOIL AND PLANT HEALTH
Biological amendments can improve soil/ plant health and crop performance and provide resilience against abiotic and biotic stresses. Read more
PASTURE NUTRITION AND ASSOCIATED GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS POTENTIAL UNDER CLIMATE EXTREMES
Livestock performance – including associated methane emissions – is strongly dependent on the nutritional characteristics of the pastures on which they feed. Read more
UNDERSTANDING MECHANISMS UNDERPINNING CLIMATE RESILIENCE IN MANAGED PASTURE GRASSLAND
Maintaining productive, functional ecosystems in a changing climate is a key challenge for grassland managers, especially in the context of increasingly frequent and severe droughts and heatwaves. Read more
RESPONSES OF A PHOSPHORUS-LIMITED FOREST TO CO2 ENRICHMENT
Rising atmospheric CO2 poses a potential for significant changes to forest functioning in the future. Read more
SOIL BIOTIC INTERACTION AND THEIR ROLES IN NUTRIENT TRANSFORMATIONS OF AGRICULTURAL SOIL
Soil biodiversity plays an essential role in driving litter decomposition, and nutrient cycling. This project aims to identify biotic interactions among soil communities, and decipher their roles in regulating nitrogen and phosphorous cycles. Read more
Identifying individuals at high risk of Alzheimer’s disease
BACKGROUND. Dementia affects an estimated 353,800 Australians, with up to 80% being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Despite a major research effort, an effective treatment is not available. Read more
Improving survival for adult brain cancer patients by targeting ‘sleeping’ cancer stem cells.
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant primary brain tumour in adults and is inevitably fatal, with a median survival of just 15-months after diagnosis. Read more
The allergens of scabies mites
Summary of the project . Scabies, caused by an infestation of Sarcoptes scabiei in the skin, is a common, contagious skin disease. Read more
Genetics of skin cancer
Research Group:
Statistical Genetics
BACKGROUND. Genetics, together with sun exposure, play an important role in the development of skin cancers. Our lab studies both melanoma and the keratinocyte cancers basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Read more
