QUT Centre for Agriculture and the Bioeconomy’s Post

CAB lead researcher to investigate artificial protein circuits for next-generation diagnostics. Professor of Synthetic Biology Kirill Alexandrov was recently awarded $3 million by the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) through its Investigator grant scheme to carry out this research. “To ensure high-quality healthcare, we need advancements in disease diagnostics,” Professor Alexandrov said. “I will use synthetic biology to develop technologies for detecting and monitoring diseases rapidly and accurately. By building sophisticated molecular machines capable of detecting disease markers, we will be able to simplify diagnostic hardware, making it more accessible for doctors and patients. “Cheaper and easily distributable diagnostic technologies will be critical to meeting the increasing demand for healthcare in the world that is both growing and aging.” More on our #syntheticbiology research here: https://lnkd.in/gbBxaQzB #QUT #QUTResearch #QUTScience #QUTHealth
