Funded Activity Summary

Biocompatible Ionic Liquids - Preserving Bioactive Structure and Function. A family of liquids recently discovered at Monash University has an ability to preserve bioactive molecules that represents a breakthrough in biotechnology. These new biocompatible ionic liquids will be investigated for applications in the treatment of diseases such as haemophilia. The ability of these liquids to stabilise a wide range of enzymes also opens up the potential of their use in a range of biosensors such as blood glucose monitors for diabetes management. In collaborations with research groups worldwide, these materials will also be applied to the preservation of bioactivity in applications including cryopreservation of endangered species such as coral and in medical therapeutics.
