PhD Scholarship in Colloid and Surface Chemistry

This project investigates crossing restrictive biobarriers with self-assembled lipid nanocarriers. The project will examine the behaviour of nanocarriers at cell/bacteria surfaces and response to biological environments and molecules (such as proteins). Research will utilize a suite of cutting edge techniques including confocal microscopy, total internal reflection microscopy, AFM, QCM, cryo-TEM and x-ray scattering. This is an ARC-RMIT co-funded scholarship providing a stipend of $33,826 per annum (pro-rata) for 3 years. Two scholarships are available for this research opportunity.
