Polymer Theranostics: Imaging a Treatment in vivo

Molecular imaging has had a profound influence on modern diagnostics and has helped drive the evolving field of nanomedicine. "Theranostics", the portmanteau of therapy and diagnostics, is one sub-section of nanomedicine and offers the opportunity to monitor the effectiveness of a therapy using molecular imaging techniques - this may be achieved by monitoring drug release from a polymeric carrier, defining tumour boundaries or quantifying necrosis. In this project we will develop biocompatible polymeric devices that target a specific disease state in vivo, and subsequently deliver a therapy to treat that disease using various biological stimuli. The effectiveness of treatment will then be monitored using molecular imaging. This will involve utilising advanced chemistries for both the synthesis of the polymer-drug composites, and subsequent ligation of cell-targeting and imaging moieties. The polymeric architecture will be investigated by techniques such as NMR, GPC-MALLS, DLS, HPLC, UV-VIS etc. The polymeric device will incorporate imaging components for modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT) and optical imaging to definitively locate and monitor tumour regression.
Novel Block Copolymer for Lithographic Applications

In recent years, block copolymers have created new opportunities as alternative nano-scale pattern templates for lithography applications. Block copolymers are particularly attractive because the self directed assembly of domain structures in thin films can produce an array of template patterns in the range of 5-50nm. It is well established that the ideal block copolymer must exhibit both a high value of polymer-polymer interaction parameter (c) and one highly etch resistant block. We have identified from the structure-property models that we have developed, that the polystyrene-block-polyester copolymer is a good candidate. Hence in this project, a range of interesting chemistries will be utilized for the synthesis of the block copolymer including ring opening polymerisation, living radical polymerization and some monomer preparation, in addition to characterization by various advanced techniques such as NMR, GPC, thermal analysis and vibrational spectroscopy. The thin film phase separated morphology will be investigated with respect to the surface interaction between the substrate and block copolymer by using high resolution scanning electron microscopy and XPS.
Self-assembly of Block polymers for Applications in Nanofabrication and for Tuning Interfacial Interactions

Block copolymers (BCPs) are comprised of two distinct, but covalently linked polymer chains, which under certain circumstances form structures that are on the order of nanometers. By controlling the orientation and/or morphology of block copolymer domains it is possible to use them as a nanofabrication template in a range of applications, including advanced lithography, next generation batteries, high density magnetic storage media, membranes and metamaterials. A range of projects are available that will involve synthesis and/or morphological characterisation of block copolymers to advance the field of nanofabrication. Industry collaborators for some projects may include The Dow Chemical Company. Block copolymers can also be used to tune interfacial interactions.

Polymer Theranostics: Imaging a Treatment in vivo

Molecular imaging has had a profound influence on modern diagnostics and has helped drive the evolving field of nanomedicine. "Theranostics", the portmanteau of therapy and diagnostics, is one sub-section of nanomedicine and offers the opportunity to monitor the effectiveness of a therapy using molecular imaging techniques - this may be achieved by monitoring drug release from a polymeric carrier, defining tumour boundaries or quantifying necrosis. In this project we will develop biocompatible polymeric devices that target a specific disease state in vivo, and subsequently deliver a therapy to treat that disease using various biological stimuli. The effectiveness of treatment will then be monitored using molecular imaging. This will involve utilising advanced chemistries for both the synthesis of the polymer-drug composites, and subsequent ligation of cell-targeting and imaging moieties. The polymeric architecture will be investigated by techniques such as NMR, GPC-MALLS, DLS, HPLC, UV-VIS etc. The polymeric device will incorporate imaging components for modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT) and optical imaging to definitively locate and monitor tumour regression.

In recent years, block copolymers have created new opportunities as alternative nano-scale pattern templates for lithography applications. Block copolymers are particularly attractive because the self directed assembly of domain structures in thin films can produce an array of template patterns in the range of 5-50nm. It is well established that the ideal block copolymer must exhibit both a high value of polymer-polymer interaction parameter (c) and one highly etch resistant block. We have identified from the structure-property models that we have developed, that the polystyrene-block-polyester copolymer is a good candidate. Hence in this project, a range of interesting chemistries will be utilized for the synthesis of the block copolymer including ring opening polymerisation, living radical polymerization and some monomer preparation, in addition to characterization by various advanced techniques such as NMR, GPC, thermal analysis and vibrational spectroscopy. The thin film phase separated morphology will be investigated with respect to the surface interaction between the substrate and block copolymer by using high resolution scanning electron microscopy and XPS.
Self-assembly of Block polymers for Applications in Nanofabrication and for Tuning Interfacial Interactions

Block copolymers (BCPs) are comprised of two distinct, but covalently linked polymer chains, which under certain circumstances form structures that are on the order of nanometers. By controlling the orientation and/or morphology of block copolymer domains it is possible to use them as a nanofabrication template in a range of applications, including advanced lithography, next generation batteries, high density magnetic storage media, membranes and metamaterials. A range of projects are available that will involve synthesis and/or morphological characterisation of block copolymers to advance the field of nanofabrication. Industry collaborators for some projects may include The Dow Chemical Company. Block copolymers can also be used to tune interfacial interactions.
Understanding Architecture Effect of Fluoropolymers on Their 19F MRI Properties

Despite the wide use of metal-based MRI contrast agents such as gadolinium chelates in the clinic, safety concerns have been raised regarding their potential toxic effects resulting from long-term in vivo retention. This has driven the development of organic metal-free contrast agents in various forms for use in MRI. Fluoropolymers, polymers containing fluorine, are very promising candidates as organic metal-free MRI contrast agents. However, the clinical application of fluoropolymers as 19F MRI contrast agents has been greatly limited due to insufficient imaging sensitivity of current fluoropolymers. This project aims to boost the imaging sensitivity of 19F MRI by controlling the architecture of synthesised fluoropolymers. The project will highlight the important relationship between the architecture and properties of fluoropolymers, contributing to the development of advanced fluoropolymers as 19F MRI contrast agent with clinical potential.
Nanofunctional Surfaces for Control of the Biological Interface

Biomaterials support, repair or protect the human body. The surface of the biomaterial interacts with the body’s immune system, or for external devices with pathogens. Control of the surface and how it interacts with the biological system is essential for effectiveness in its intended application. This project aims to develop innovative strategies for surface functionalisation using polymers that can either augment or attenuate the body’s response to the material. Two focus applications, namely anti-microbial surfaces and functional titanium alloys have been identified for the development of the novel surface treatments. The projects will build effective pathways from materials science to pre-clinical evaluation, and will provide training in synthetic chemistry, biomaterials science and pre-clinical testing.
Novel Biologically-Responsive MRI Agents

The development of MRI imaging agents has been central to the rise of MRI as a leading medical diagnostic tool. An MRI imaging agent is a molecular adjunct which enables enhanced image definition and reduced imaging times, as well as mapping of specific cell types. In this project new imaging agents will be developed which respond to specific biological triggers relevant to diseases, for e.g. changes in pH, ionic strength, oxygen tension, redox environment and temperature. The project will involve synthesis of novel functional polymers using controlled radical polymerisation methods and testing of these molecules as imaging agents in animal models. The project is supported by the Australian Research Council and the National Health and Medical Research Council and involves extensive national and international collaboration. The student will receive training in polymer chemistry, NMR and MRI and biomedical sciences. This project is suitable for PhD and Honours students.
MRI Imaging Agents for Disease Detection

The aim of this project is to develop new magnetic resonance (MR) molecular imaging strategies that will enable the in vivo monitoring of biological processes. Specifically we shall develop novel polymers for imaging of early markers of diseases such as melanoma, prostate cancer, malignant glioma and Alzheimer’s disease. Specifically the project involves the synthesis of new partly-fluorinated polymers having controlled architecture for the rapidly developing field of 19F MRI. The project aims to relate the structure of the macromolecules, determined carefully using advanced techniques such as NMR, light scattering, GPC, AFM and electron microscopy, to the performance as imaging agents. The agents will be tested in small animal (mouse) models of disease already developed by this group and our collaborators.
Light, pH and Ion Responsive Hydrogels

The ability to actively change shape is essential to all kinds of living organisms. For example, the Venus flytrap closes its leaves in less than seconds to efficiently catch flies, and pine cones open their scales when the environment is dry to release their seeds. Inspired by such phenomena, numerous studies have aimed to develop artificial smart materials which can undergo shape transformations under the action of an external stimulus. Among the various classes of shape-changing materials, hydrogels are particularly attractive because of the potential for significant changes in volume under diverse external stimuli, and the potential for programmable complex shape changes. The interesting properties of hydrogels make them candidates for diverse applications in many fields, such as in soft robotics, artificial muscles, three-dimensional (3D) cell culture and drug or cell delivery devices. In this project we explore an innovative approach to spatially varying properties of hydrogels so that they undergo rapid and reversible shape changes on exposure to external stimuli.
