The Centre for Next-Gen Technologies in Biomedical Analysis will deliver workforce trained in the development of transformative technologies that will rapidly expand the Australian pharmaceutical, diagnostic and defence sector. The university-industry partnership will increase Australia’s manufacturing capability by fast tracking screening, by integrating 3D printing, advanced sensing, big data analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence for the delivery of optimal solutions in diagnosis, treatment and wellbeing. The centre will deliver training in Industry 4.0 skills which will boost early-stage scale-up and accelerate the sector’s supply chain, which is pivotal for the Australian industries to maintain a competitive edge.

Illuminating hidden processes in emissive lanthanoid complexes. This project aims to understand the antenna effect used to sensitise lanthanoid luminescence. Despite their use in modern high-tech applications, from optical fibre amplifiers (telecommunications) to luminescent probes and sensors (biological imaging), understanding is largely based on speculation or generalised 'rules-of-thumb', severely limiting progress in the field. This project will research these processes, using chemical synt ....Illuminating hidden processes in emissive lanthanoid complexes. This project aims to understand the antenna effect used to sensitise lanthanoid luminescence. Despite their use in modern high-tech applications, from optical fibre amplifiers (telecommunications) to luminescent probes and sensors (biological imaging), understanding is largely based on speculation or generalised 'rules-of-thumb', severely limiting progress in the field. This project will research these processes, using chemical synthesis, theory and spectroscopic techniques. This is expected to lead to new emissive lanthanoid-based compounds using 'a priori' approaches, with better performance than current gold standards and references. Intellectual property created will lead to new commercial products, and to creation of new Australian based spin-off/start-up companies.Read moreRead less

Summary
New chromatography-electrophysiology methods for semiochemical discovery. The aim of this research is to develop new tools for discovering natural products that mediate insect-insect and plant-insect communication. Knowledge of such semiochemicals is critical for many applications in conservation biology, agriculture, and horticulture. Many of these compounds are difficult to identify with current chemical and electrophysiological methods.

The aim of this research is to develop new tools for discovering natural products that mediate insect-insect and plant-insect communication. Knowledge of such semiochemicals is critical for many applications in conservation biology, agriculture, and horticulture. Many of these compounds are difficult to identify with current chemical and electrophysiological methods. The goal is to develop new technology combining state-of-the-art chemical separation techniques and electroantennography to enable detection and identification of a broad range of chemicals of biological importance. The intended outcome is to apply this technology to pollination systems of plants of conservation and evolutionary significance, and of commercial importance in terms of insect control and pollination.Read moreRead less
