Discovery and exploitation of novel biophysical methods for charcterising molecular pathways invld in disease progression [ 2008 - 2014 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Matthew Cooper (Principal investigator)

Brief description Dr Cooper has conducted groundbreaking research into the progression and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens. Utilising a strongly multidisciplinary approach, he will use his Fellowship to expand upon this research in the area of antibiotic resistance and will supplement this focus with research into biofilms formed by bacterial pathogens on medical implants, cannulas and catheters. Dr Cooper’s Australia Fellowship will also assist his research into the changes that occur in cells during the initiation and evolution of cancer.
