Congratulations to the winners of our second round of Fresh Ideas Grants! The Fresh Ideas Grants (FIG) scheme is a competitive grant process open to all Centre Postdoctoral Research Fellows. It aims to create a springboard to independence for our Research Fellows by creating an opportunity for them to drive their own research ideas.
- Dr Liam Adair (USyd) – Assessing fluorescent label impact on membrane permeability of peptides
- Dr Bilge Ercan (USyd) – Novel cyclic peptides for phosphoinositide detection
- Dr Kate Farquharson (USyd) – Fighting chytrid fungus: a role for antimicrobials?
- Dr Rebecca Frkic (ANU) – Reversal of antibiotic resistance
- Dr Mathias Hansen (Monash) – Expanding Peptide Diversity via Adenylation-Domain Mediated tRNA Acylation
- Dr Xinyun Jian (Monash) – Harnessing beneficial soil bacteria to combat resistant fungal pathogens
- Dr Sameer Kulkarni (USyd) – Identification of gut-stable macrocyclic peptide inhibitors for the treatment of Inflammatory diseases
- Dr Emma Peel (USyd) – Function of novel frog antimicrobial peptides
Congratulations to the winners of our first round of Fresh Ideas Grants – June 2023.
- Dr Stephen Butler (USyd) – GLOWTACs: Tools for visualization of ternary protein complexes
- Dr Jason Johansen-Leete (USyd) – Development of short split-inteins for protein modification through functional library screening by mRNA display
