Biography
Dr Simon Corrie's research interest is focused on developing nanoparticle-based molecular sensors for monitoring biological molecules in real biological environments. The Nano-sensor Engineering Lab works on the design, synthesis, characterisation and testing of both synthetic nanoparticle scaffolds and novel biological reporters (for example, antibody fragments).
This requires an interdisciplinary approach, combining aspects of materials science, chemistry, and molecular biology to create the materials and then collaborate with Australian and international colleagues to test the materials in pre-clinical animal models with the ultimate aim of translation into human trials.
