A few years ago we discovered the cloud point temperature of poly(2-oxazoline)s could be supressed by conjugating drugs. Now we show that physical mixing can do the same thing, paving the way for new injectable drug delivery devices. With @dr_nehagandhi +

Chlamydia can reduce male fertility; treatment with antibiotics is ineffective due to chlamydia hitching a ride in other cells. He we showed that liposome nanoparticles with azithromycin can clear chlamydia. With @BenBoyd_Monash @EmilyBryanPhD + others

Our work on using polymers for koala vaccination is now in The Conversation! via @ConversationEDU.
theconversation.com
Chlamydia is devastating for koalas, but the vaccine to prevent infection requires a booster shot. Recapturing the animals for their booster shot is costly and stresses them, but there’s a solution.

I'm lucky to have access to facilities on the two campuses of @QUT so do the commute regularly and have timed it. The diff is significant but walking 3.5km is doable + have certainty around trip time. I'd do it more often but downsides are major intersections and little shade.

Super happy to be able to share findings from @nick_huettner in collaboration with @dr_nehagandhi on why polyoxazines cyclize better than polyoxazolines and how this may overcome scale up challenges @QUTmaterials .

To address the low-throughput of melt electrowriting we added a second nozzle. It was more complex that you'd think but with a bonus of being able to make semi‐woven structures with @meltelectrospin @elena_dejuanp and Raquel Sanchez Diaz

Melt electrowriting is an emerging additive manufacturing method for making fibrous polymer scaffolds with extremely large porosity. A limitation, however, is the low throughput thereby hindering...
