Engineering layered double hydroxide nanoparticles toward an efficient targeted clinical delivery system. This project will develop a more effective drug delivery system using clay nanoparticles and biofriendly serum proteins. Outcomes from this project will provide a tremendous opportunity for potent therapies of cancers, vasculature and neuronal diseases, and place Australia at the forefront of nanotechnology drug delivery research.
Roles of the kynurenine pathway in physiological and pathological brain function. This project will aim to study the metabolism of the essential amino acid tryptophan in the brain and its involvement in diseases including multiple sclerosis and brain tumours.

Summary
A five laser multichannel flow cytometry cell sorter for the University of New South Wales as part of an advanced flow cytometry network. Flow cytometry is a technique for counting and examining microscopic particles, such as cells and chromosomes, by suspending them in a stream of fluid and passing them by an electronic detection apparatus. This project will establish such advanced cell sorting instrumentation at the University of New South Wales, providing this capability to a wide range of re ....A five laser multichannel flow cytometry cell sorter for the University of New South Wales as part of an advanced flow cytometry network.
