Funded Activity Summary

Smart bio-mimetic self-assembled gels for biomedical applications. Advanced materials that can be used to deliver drugs, repair scars and damaged tissue are the holy grail of regenerative medicine. Recently, a class of materials called self-assembled gels have shown enormous potential in this regard. Self-assembled gels have already demonstrated their use in drug delivery and are showing great promise in the treatment of spinal injuries. This project will create an even smarter version of these gels with biological activity, especially targeting cancer and suppressing tumour growth after surgery. Our approach will help to ensure that Australians can take a leading role in this highly exciting new area of biomedical research.
