The ARC Training Centre for Cell and Tissue Engineering Technologies aims to provide training to create a highly skilled workforce for the tissue engineering and regenerative medicine sector and to enhance research performance and innovation in Australia through fundamental and applied research carried out in industry-led PhD projects. The research aims to address major aspects of the manufacturing and commercialisation pathway and barriers faced by the sector, namely improving process efficiencies, enabling early-stage scale-up (cell/tissue) and development of the sector's supply chain. The knowledge created and research undertaken would help to accelerate commercialisation in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering and cell therapies.Read moreRead less
Modulation of protein folding pathways: a new platform technology for molecular medicine. Misfolding of proteins is becoming recognised as a major cause of inherited disease. We propose to develop a chemical agent that will optimise the folding of alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT), misfolding of which gives rise to inheritable liver and lung disease. This agent will have potential application as a therapy for sufferers of AAT-misfolding disease and for improving the yield of AAT purified from human plasm ....Modulation of protein folding pathways: a new platform technology for molecular medicine.

This agent will have potential application as a therapy for sufferers of AAT-misfolding disease and for improving the yield of AAT purified from human plasma, which is the current agent used to treat patients with AAT-misfolding disease.Read moreRead less
Drug particle characterisation. The understanding of drug particle characterizations is one of the key issues in the development of novel nasal sprayers for targeted drug delivery. A comprehensive study is proposed for characterising drug formation in sprayers and particle deposition in nasal cavity using the latest experimental and numerical techniques. A computer-aided design technology will be developed to optimise drug delivery systems. The new technology has great potentials leading to the ....Drug particle characterisation.

A comprehensive study is proposed for characterising drug formation in sprayers and particle deposition in nasal cavity using the latest experimental and numerical techniques. A computer-aided design technology will be developed to optimise drug delivery systems. The new technology has great potentials leading to therapeutic and economic benefits in developing advanced/innovative drug delivery systems and in evaluating the potential biological effects by the drugs to be introduced through the nose.Read moreRead less
OPTIMIZED NASAL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS -- COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN. The aim of this project is to develop a computer-aided design technology to assist in targeted drug delivery through the human nasal cavity which is being recognised to be an excellent alternative route for the administration of medication drugs. The aim will be achieved by conducting computer modelling of nasal flow under realistic physiological conditions and by performing experimental measurements and testing to validate computer ....OPTIMIZED NASAL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS -- COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN.
