Collaborating across borders to enhance discoveries
Seven of our researchers have been successful in gaining seed funding for establishing research collaborations with Monash's Faculty of Science. These inaugural inter-disciplinary grants are designed to help researchers carry out highly innovative or proof-of-principle studies, with an aim to garner future external funding.
This year's successful recipients are:
- Chris Greening (Biological Sciences) and Max Cryle (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) for ‘Investigating two novel classes of oxygen-tolerant hydrogenases: unique catalysts for biotechnology’
- Lincoln Turner (Physics and Astronomy) and David Spanswick (Physiology) for ‘The biomagnetic microscope: Non-invasive imaging of neurocurrents with ultracold atoms’
- Alex de Marco (Biomedical Sciences) and Travis Johnson (Biological Sciences) for ‘Precise isolation of cryo-preserved tissue for Omics studies using a Focussed Ion Beam’
- Alistair Evans (Biological Sciences) and Justin W. Adams (Biomedical Sciences / Biomedicine Discovery Institute) for ‘Rediscovering the Thylacine: Cyberanatomy of an Australian Icon’
- Jennifer Flegg (Mathematical Sciences) and John Carroll (Biomedical Sciences) for ‘The origins of aneuploidy in cell division: a mathematical pilot study’
- Tianhai Tian (Mathematical Sciences) and Jose Polo (Anatomy and Developmental Biology) for ‘Stochastic multi-scale modelling of molecular roadmap for somatic cell reprogramming’
- Linda Parsons (Biological Sciences) and Roger Daly (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) for ‘Determining the molecular mechanisms that link nutrient status, growth and tumourigenesis’
