Description

Gallium Liquid Metal Nanoparticles For Targeted Delivery of Antimicrobials. Antimicrobial resistance has become an urgent societal problem. This project aims to employ advanced strategies to rationally design the next generation of antimicrobial functional materials using gallium liquid metal nanoparticles. These materials will efficiently target microbial pathogens while remaining safe for mammalian cells. By utilising interdisciplinary approaches and advanced analytical tools, this project will generate advanced knowledge and a mechanistic understanding of bio-nano interactions between liquid metals and biological cells. On the applied side, the project will deliver novel solutions to current challenges posed by antimicrobial resistance in various fields, including healthcare, food, environment, and agriculture.. Scheme: ARC Future Fellowships. Field: 3106 - Industrial Biotechnology. Lead: A/Prof Vi Khanh Truong
