Even more excitingly, collaboration between Assistant Professor @nano_jenn and @IanLChin has enabled a much closer look into peptide-cell interactions through use of gold nano-particle technology.

Tumours exhibit dynamically changing microenvironments which cells sense and respond to. This has become the core of @Danielle_Vahala's research; investigating the extracellular matrix and its role in tumour dissemination using highly tuneable biomaterials and spheroid culture.
CRISPR-Cas-based technologies have greatly expanded our knowledge of diseases, their genetic components, and the development of targeted therapies. Notably, these technologies allow researchers to permanently edit the genetic code, or temporarily switch genes on/off.

BioZone researcher Eric Alves uses CRISPR "gene switching" to identify which immune-related genes are likely to be beneficial targets for cancer immunotherapy - an emerging type of cancer treatment that aims to help your immune system fight cancer!

Hydrogels are used to mimic the mechanical and chemical properties of tissues which allow for cells to be studied in more representative and translatable environments.

BioZone researcher Ebrahim Vahabli aims to make smart cardiovascular implants by harnessing the capabilities of this technology to assist surgeons in diagnosing and applying timely interventions for various cardiovascular conditions.
#biozone#uwa
BioZone PhD candidates @Seb_Amos, @Danielle_Vahala, Sam and Eric had a fantastic time participating in the @UWAPSA Research Week Sundowner! They spoke about the BioZone program and all things research and innovation with students, staff and industry professionals.
#biozone
T3mPLATE's new Melt Electro-Writer is finally up and running! BioZone researcher Michael Vernon will be using it for 3D printing of advanced tissue engineered constructs.
It is the biggest of its kind in WA and capable of printing at 230°C with a resolution of 200 nm!

We're back! Meet the BioZone cohort!
Here at BioZone, we seek innovative solutions that address the increasing complexity of local and global challenges as well as 'wicked problems'. These problems require transformative change in the way we learn, think and interact.
Huge thanks again @9NewsPerth for showcasing our lads’ skills @CityOfCockburn last week — great to spread the word. Next month the MvF program’s expanding & more waistlines will be shrinking! Over 1100 kgs lost so far. For info on leagues & locations: https://t.co/x6RYS5NLoL
