Funded Activity Summary
Multiplexed surface signals to inhibit mixed bacterial biofilm formation. This project aims to investigate a novel class of multifunctional surfaces that can be used to coat biomaterials with antimicrobial properties. This combines advanced polymer synthesis with a new colloidal particle self-assembly technique to modify surfaces. Expected project outcomes are generation of new knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of biofilm formation in complex microbial communities, which may facilitate future research exploring the development of biomaterials that resist attachment of infectious microbes, which is desperately needed in many biomedical application areas. This can assist entrepreneurs and researchers in the medical technologies sector, allowing them to explore how to reduce infection rates on medical devices.Funded Activity Details
