Role of HIFs in cancer
Honours project: Decipher the specific roles of HIF1 and HIF2 in multiple myeloma.
Directed evolution of proteins in vivo
Honours project: Use a new phage-based directed evolution approach to evolve proteins with properties to make them suitable for use in synthetic circuit applications, such as in vivo biosensing or construction of bistable switches.
Synthetic phage therapy
Honours project: Investigate the structural biology of bacteriophage proteins.
Signalling pathways of epileptic seizures
Honours project: Explore the signalling pathways that induce NPAS4, which is highly induced in neurons during epileptic seizure, where it functions to dampen hyperexcitation.
