The following projects are undertaken in the research area of
Program 6: Macromolecules and Particles
The potential of rSSCP for the identification of bacterial colonies
(Honours)
Separation of fragments of 16S rRNA by capillary SSCP for the
identification of identifying bacterial colonies useful in bioremediation. This project is in collaboration with the CRC for Biotechnology, University of New South Wales.
Analysis of endogenous glycosaminoglycans for therapeutic drug monitoring
Capillary electrophoresis for the separation of intact and digested
glycosaminoglycans, such as hyaluronic acid, heparin, chondroitin sulfate and their derived oligosaccharides for applications in therapetic drug monitoring.
Electrophoretic characterisation of synthetic oligomers
High resolution separation and characterisation of oligmers and
polymers involved in the production of synthetic polyelectrolytes
and latex coatings using capillary electrophoresis. The project
is in collaboration with the University of Queensland.
New fluorescent labels for bioanalysis
Development of novel fluorescent labels for the sensitive separation of oligosaccharides by capillary electrophoresis.
Probing the Tasmanian Devil Serum Proteome for Preclinical Diagnosis
of Devil Facial Tumour Disease
In conjunction with the Department of Primary Industries and
Water (DPIW), this project will evaluate a number of capillary electrophoresis
approaches for the development of a preclinical diagnosis of the
Tasmanian Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD).
