See description belowThis 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.
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
New microscopic tools for cancer research
The aim of this project will be to build on our expertise in RICS with FRET to develop new methods of imaging motion and interaction.
What is needed is a capability to image, in three dimensions, motion and interaction.
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.

Immune system fails on video
As we live and breathe, millions of T-cells that are part of a human body's molecular defence force patrol the blood and lymphatic systems, seeking out and destroying cells harbouring viruses, bacteria or mutant cells that could turn cancerous.
