Ultrathin Gold Nanocrystal Conductors for Wearable Epidermal Biofuel Cells. This project aims to fabricate ultrathin, soft yet stretchable gold nanocrystal conductors to push the thickness limit of next-generation soft bioelectrodes for fabrication of wearable epidermal biofuel cells. This will generate new knowledge and patentable technologies related to design/fabrication of soft nanocrystal conductors, bioanode and biocathode, which require to be thin, soft, conductive and biocompatible.

Engineering nanoscale tools for cellular interrogation. The aim is to address fundamental hurdles to engineering seamless nanobiointerfaces between electroactive nanoscale tools and living cells. This is expected to allow efficient delivery of many bioactive cargo types into cells, intracellular sampling of cytosol contents, and probing of action potential, all at the cell—material interface. New, powerful, electroactive nanoscale tools that deliver precise spatio-temporal resolution and minimal ....Engineering nanoscale tools for cellular interrogation. The aim is to address fundamental hurdles to engineering seamless nanobiointerfaces between electroactive nanoscale tools and living cells. This is expected to allow efficient delivery of many bioactive cargo types into cells, intracellular sampling of cytosol contents, and probing of action potential, all at the cell—material interface. New, powerful, electroactive nanoscale tools that deliver precise spatio-temporal resolution and minimal invasiveness and perturbation are likely to transform ex-vivo cellular processes. The intended outcomes are crucial for maximising precision in engineering and implementing of ex-vivo cellular processes. Fundamental advances in knowledge may eventually be a platform for developing cell-based therapies.
