Summary
Controlling uranium species to its long-term stability in bioremediation. This project aims to reveal the mechanisms of uranium transformation and immobilisation in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions of bioremediation with the emphasis on elucidating stable uranium immobilised under different pathways and conditions. This project expects to generate new knowledge regarding the relationship between uranium speciation and stability with the matrix mineral, microbiota, and environmental conditio ....Controlling uranium species to its long-term stability in bioremediation. This project aims to reveal the mechanisms of uranium transformation and immobilisation in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions of bioremediation with the emphasis on elucidating stable uranium immobilised under different pathways and conditions. This project expects to generate new knowledge regarding the relationship between uranium speciation and stability with the matrix mineral, microbiota, and environmental conditions. Expected outcomes from this project include new strategies for preferential immobilisation of uranium to stable species that are resistant to air and acid. The anticipated benefits of this project include mitigating uranium contamination and promoting the sustainable development of the uranium industry in Australia.Read moreRead less

This project aims to understand and apply a novel approach to the enhancement of diagnostic tests for agricultural biosecurity applications. Government and Industry require simple, rapid tests to monitor and detect threats to Australia’s agricultural biosecurity. This interdisciplinary project intends to enhance collaboration, generate fundamental advances in the field of analytical chemistry and bolster Australia’s research capabilities through new analytical techniques and technologies. The breadth of applications of this technology should also provide significant benefits to the Australian biotechnology industry, improve existing instrumentation and impact diverse research fields from biosecurity to health monitoring.

Summary
How T cells modulate stem cells and tissue regeneration. The project aims to determine how T cells modulate tissue repair and regeneration in mammals. Most of the mechanisms modulating the healing of tissues are elusive. This research is expected to reveal unknown mechanisms controlling the processes of tissue repair and regeneration, particularly the nexus between the stem cells involved in the tissue healing process and the immune response .

Summary
Lab-on-a-chip platforms for hemodynamics research: new approaches for the study of blood diseases. This project will use advanced microfluidic technologies to study how and why blood clotting occurs. New devices will be created that can precisely analyse the ability of blood to form clots and these will become powerful tools for the diagnosis of blood disorders and the research and validation of drugs for the treatment of these disorders.

Summary
Calcium-mediated regulation of stem cell development. This project aims to clarify the role of syndecan-mediated calcium in stem cell development using Caenorhabditis elegans. Stem cells have great potential for regenerative studies. While stem cells cultures are widely used, we do not fully understand how stem cells develop within an organism. This project expects to uncover the mechanisms underpinning calcium regulation by syndecan in stem cells. The expected outcomes include the optimisation ....Calcium-mediated regulation of stem cell development. This project aims to clarify the role of syndecan-mediated calcium in stem cell development using Caenorhabditis elegans. Stem cells have great potential for regenerative studies. While stem cells cultures are widely used, we do not fully understand how stem cells develop within an organism. This project expects to uncover the mechanisms underpinning calcium regulation by syndecan in stem cells. The expected outcomes include the optimisation of C. elegans stem cell methods to screen calcium regulating compounds and the creation of an in vivo calcium sensor. The project should advance knowledge of the role of syndecans in stem cells and provide the first analysis of in vivo calcium kinetics in stem cells.Read moreRead less
