This project aims to develop next-generation nanomaterials that have a special worm-like shape and can intelligently respond to environmental signals. The project is expected to generate new knowledge in the area of advanced manufacturing utilising innovative approaches in nanotechnology and polymer chemistry. The anticipated outcome is an environmentally friendly technology for industrial production of high value-added nanomaterials that may ultimately have a variety of applications including, but not limited to, early diagnosis and efficient therapy of cancer. This should provide benefits to the Australian economy, environment and society.Read moreRead less
Atomized mucoadhesive particles for pulmonary gene delivery. Scientific and technological advances in material science, biotechnology and biomedical devices are poised to revolutionise healthcare and medicine. By using precisely engineered biomaterials in an efficient miniature electronic inhalation device, a mist of inhalable therapeutics can be generated to deliver improved lung healthcare for Australians.
A nanoengineered solution to drug delivery in bone. This project presents an exciting new approach of applying nanotechnology to bone research. By combining our expertise in nanoengineering of new materials, mathematical modelling and bone biology, this project will result in a well-characterised model for drug delivery into bone and lead to a new therapeutic approach for treating bone diseases.
