The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

This project involves the development of an innovative optical biosensing system combined with a sophisticated barcode system containing information for clinical diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. For the first time, this system will provide information on the amount and chemical structure of cardiac biomarkers at the same time by combining reflectometric interference and low resolution Raman spectroscopies. These optical signals will be converted into barcodes containing several levels of information, which will be at the base of this versatile point-of-care test. The obtained results will be implemented in a computerised database to improve current cardiac disease diagnosis.Read moreRead less

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.
Mechanisms of initiation and remodelling of intracranial aneurysms: a synthesis of hemodynamics and molecular biomarkers. Rupture of brain aneurysms can lead to severe disability and death. This project proposes novel ways of assessing risk of rupture using sophisticated mathematical models of blood flow in aneurysms and biochemical substances released in the blood. This will enhance basic understanding of aneurysm formation and improve treatment and management.
Electrochemical biosensors for detection of cardiac disease markers in blood. Cardiovascular diseases leading to heart failure have a prevalence of over 16 per cent in Australia. The social, economic and health burden is higher than for any other disease group. Hence, it is critically important to develop fit-for-purpose sensors of known cardiac biomarkers, which alert patients and clinicians of the risk of imminent heart failure.
