A team of researchers at the AIBN, led by Dr Ruirui Qiao, have successfully patented a breakthrough tool accelerating this research and bringing regenerative medicine solutions closer to reality.
A fresh round of Advance Queensland funding will help AIBN researchers team up with industry to develop next-gen lithium-ion batteries, indoor solar panels, and nanotech-assisted kits for drug screening.
AIBN researchers Dr Helen Forgham and Dr Ruirui Qiao believe they have ideal vehicle to simultaneously treat, map and monitor the notoriously difficult Medulloblastoma tumour that occurs in children.
Mechanical stimulation plays a critical role in regulating stem cell fate. Nanostructure-mediated mechanical cues can precisely stimulate stem cells, but predicting their impact on stem cell differentiation is challenging.
