Nanotechnology-Enhanced Vaccines: New inulin bioconjugates to defeat global pandemic threats. Inulin-based adjuvants have the potential to revolutionise the vaccine arena; man's critical first line of defence against infectious disease. Any breakthrough in developing completely safe new adjuvants, will therefore be of major global significance, and will play a vital role in the maintenance of global health for decades.

Inulin-based adjuvants have the potential to revolutionise the vaccine arena; man's critical first line of defence against infectious disease. Any breakthrough in developing completely safe new adjuvants, will therefore be of major global significance, and will play a vital role in the maintenance of global health for decades. New and completely safe vaccine adjuvants are a vital step in the development of improved vaccine technology in the 21st century. This project addresses two National Research Priorities, Namely Promoting and Maintaining Good Health and Safeguarding Australia. On commercialization, this will then be an important Australian contribution towards protecting the nation against any future pandemic outbreaks.Read moreRead less
Interfacial Studies of Nanoparticulate Dendrimers for Improved BioPharmaceutical Application. Dendrimers are a novel class of nanoparticles with exciting potential as pharmaceuticals for the prevention of major disease states, e.g. viral and cancer. A colloid and interfacial chemistry approach will be employed to develop an understanding of the mechanisms for the solution to cell transport processes and for optimisation of formulation strategies for delivery vehicles. Significant advances in t ....Interfacial Studies of Nanoparticulate Dendrimers for Improved BioPharmaceutical Application.
