We have a number of possible projects in this area dealing with the fascinating self-assembly of monoglycerides in water, as occurs whenever we ingest and digest fats.

In 1951 the US Public Health Service declared obesity, newly reinterpreted as an addictive disorder, to be the nation’s leading health problem.

In the 1980s many scientists joined commercial genetic engineering ventures.

The stability of many foods is based on, or affected by, emulsions arrested by colloids. Prediction, and thus optimization, of these products’ stability is often impossible because practitioners lack the fundamental understanding needed to design microstructural and rheological properties.

Biological systems models typically contain many parameters, many of which are hidden and cannot be determined experimentally in the same system.

Anatomically-accurate model of rabbit cardiac pacemaker tissue defined using the MML framework, illustrating a propagating electrical wavefront emanating from the central pacemaking site.

Electric potential profile generated by retinal implant 98-electrode array

Simplified fluid-structure interaction model of ventricular assist flow in the presence of contracting heart wall and aortic valve leaflets. Ventricular inlet (left) and outlet (right) boundaries are shown as white squares, and ventricular assist flow occurs through the outlet at the bottom.

Simulated brain activation during electroconvulsive therapy.

The 'interactome', being the interactions of all proteins in the cell, has been intensively studied in yeast. However, we know very little about how the interactions of most proteins are regulated.

Yield stress fluids are remarkable materials that behave like a solid until a certain level of stress is exerted on them, after which they flow like a fluid until the stress is removed.

Historians have too easily assumed that the lives of poor and illiterate can never be directly known because they have left few written traces.

Novel waste recycling process will improve the efficiency of Electric Arc Furnace steelmaking, lowering costs and energy consumption, thereby enhancing the international competitiveness of Australian steelmaking industry.

Our advances will deliver the fundamental science that will enable the aluminium industry to consume substantial amounts of plastic waste, including plastics that are currently unsuitable for recycling.

The novel and recycled refractories developed will lead to reductions in waste generation through reduced wear, resulting in significant economic and environmental benefits.

 

To maintain the long-term viability of livestock production, producers and land managers need access to regular, timely and accurate estimates of pasture biomass.

The objective of a new National Positioning Infrastructure (NPI) is to provide real-time, centimetre-level positioning services regardless of location.

This is a matched cohort study examining survival and prognostic factors after melanoma diagnosis in kidney transplant recipients. The study is a collaboration with ANZDATA, the University of Sydney, and St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne.

This project utilises health record linkage to quantify the risk of cancer in opioid dependent people registered for pharmacotherapy in NSW. We will examine the relationship between cancer risk and infection with the blood-borne viruses hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV.

The successful application of stem cell therapy to muscle disease requires both improved engraftment strategies and a better understanding of muscle stem cell recruitment mechanisms. This project aims to address both issues.
