See description below
This project builds upon established connections between CMP and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre continuing research into understanding the regulation of cell polarity and the role of cell polarity in cell fat decisions important to immunity and cancer.

Fabrication and characterisation of electrodes for trapping of microparticles in a microfluidic device
This project will extend current research into fabrication of microfluidic channel structures. It will investigate the size and quality of electrode structures for trapping microparticles and/or cells.

Fabrication and characterisation of micro-electrodes for trapping and manipulation of microparticles in a microfluidic device
This project will be an extension on current research in the Centre into fabrication of microfluidic channel structures

Development of a microfluidic bioreactor using novel dynamic valving for cell manipulation
The aim of this project is to fabricate microfluidic devices with which to control and monitor the response of cells to genomic and pharmacological intervention

Cell biology
Current research in the Cell Biology Lab at CMP includes the application of super-resolution microscopy, automated image analysis and microfabrication to understanding the regulation of cell polarity, and the role of cell polarity in cell fate decisions important to immunity and cancer.
