1 Directors’ Report

The Australian Centre for NanoMedicine (ACN) was established in mid-2011 as a national innovator in NanoMedicine, bringing together a diverse team of leading researchers in Medicine, Science and Engineering to deliver the next generation of health innovations, and is dedicated to providing new solutions for therapeutics and diagnostics enabled by nanotechnology.

The key science that underpins all the activities of the Centre is to fully understand and exploit the unique properties of nanomaterials for various applications (eg. nanosensors for cell imaging and therapeutics for treating cancer). The Centre’s strategic vision is to create teams focused on particular diseases using Team ACN’s skills in drug delivery, diagnostics and imaging.

To succeed in this, it requires an integrated team of researchers coming from diverse backgrounds and we have assembled a remarkable team of highly distinguished scientists and engineers covering nanotechnology, polymer science, cancer biology, chemical engineering, microfluidics, chemistry, sensors and imaging, social science and experimental arts (3D imaging) from five UNSW faculties: Medicine, Science, Engineering, Arts & Social Sciences, and Art and Design.

Towards end of 2017 the Centre’s Management Team re-examined the Centre’s vision and priorities in response to a changing UNSW landscape and new grant funding environment. Management has since developed a new strategic plan to harness our full potential. The new strategic focus moving forward will focus on the following three themes:

People/ Talent Our people and their commitment to excellence are our strength. To retain, attract and develop emerging and leading researchers is our Strategic focus. We have recruited 5 new members in 2017, including Prof Liming Dai, UNSW SHARP hire; Dr Kris Kilian and Dr Kang Liang, both UNSW Scientia Fellows; Dr Iman Roohanie, NHMRC ECF Fellow; and Dr Robert Chapman, ARC DECRA Fellow.

The Centre seeks to develop emerging leaders and retain talents through workshops and Seed Funding and providing postdoc and PhDs the opportunity to host workshops, visitors and chair Nanomed Conference sessions.

Research Focus/ Engagement The Centre aims to transform from bottom-up driven to end-user industry & clinician driven. To achieve this goal, we’ve introduced a Clinical Challenges Session and Industry Session at our annual Nanomed Conference. These sessions have already achieved pleasing results and led to collaborations and linkages, incl. Justin and Maria’s ARC Linkage Project with Inventia on 3D printing (see Research section for details).

The Centre has actively engaged with Translational Cancer Research Network (TCRN) NSW and is working towards becoming a member of TCRN. A TCRN/ACN Clinical workshop was held on Friday 17 Nov 2017 where our Centre Directors pitched to a broader clinical audience on big picture Nanomedicine and potential. Maria gave an overview of the ACN and capabilities, Cyrille gave a talk on “Nanomedicine for antimicrobial use” and Justin talked about “The potential of nanosensors and diagnosis for clinical use”.

Profile ACN has gone from strength to strength from its inception in 2011. We strive to continue to strengthen our high profile through a number of initiatives, including: becoming part of Translational Cancer Research Centres NSW and addressing the disease problems, producing high quality publications and hosting the annual International Nanomedicine Conference, attracting and retaining high quality researchers.

These and several other key achievements during 2017 are summarised in the body of this annual report. These achievements contributed to making 2017 an extremely successful year for the Centre. We look forward to similar progress in 2018 and in subsequent years.

Meet our Scientia PhDs

Munkhshur Myekhlai received her bachelor degree in Chemical Engineering and master degree in Science of Nanoengineering from the National University of Mongolia (Mongolia). Her recent research concerns the synthesis of magnetic metallic nanoparticles and in particular cobalt and Au nanoheterostructures in the electrocatalysts. She has expertise in the metallurgy, 2D nanomaterials, and electrochemistry. Her current PhD project title is: Cobalt and Au nanoparticles for electrocatalysts.

Simone Bonaccorsi holds a BS in Electronic Engineering from Politecnico of Turin (Italy), MS in Nanotechnology, joint degree between Politecnico of Turin (Italy), EPFL (École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland) and Grenoble INP Phelma (France). His background spans applications in engineering, nanotechnology, biology, immunology, genomics and bio-nanotechnology. He has worked in different technology and biotechnology-related industries as well as research institutes worldwide such as Riken (Tokyo, Japan) and Ludwig Cancer Research (Lausanne, Switzerland). He has also worked in Harvard-MIT Health Science and Technology, Imperial College London.

T Cong’s research is mainly focusing on the synthesis mesoporous silica nanorods, and then compare the cellular uptake of nanorods to the traditional nanospheres while the surface chemistry and diameter are kept similar to understand the role of shape on uptake pathway. Surface chemistry and size of mesoporous silica nanoparticles have been extensively studied, but the impact of shape has been little understood with near exclusive use of spherical shape. Despite this relative limited volume of papers, mesoporous silica nanorods have been shown to give significant improvement in drug delivery.

Agus R. Poerwoprajitno received B.Eng. degree from Diponegoro University in 2014 and M.Sc. degree from National Taiwan University of Science and Technology in 2015. He then worked as a research assistant in Institute of Chemistry, Academia Sinica. His previous research experience focused on mechanistic study of hydrogen production by iron thiolate catalyst.

Biomedical Futures: Social Scientists engaging with big questions about science

National Science Week provided an opportunity for Dr. Declan Kuch, Dr. Georgia Miller and A/Prof Matthew Kearnes to engage with laboratory scientists, researchers and policy-makers around their research into the construction and implications of precision and targeting in biomedicine. Their work involves both ethnographic research of the science in the making and the broader policy landscape. These overlaps between science and policy have become increasingly visible in the push to engage publics in the making of various biobanks, such as the ‘All of US’ initiative.

Professor Jenny Reardon (UCSC) made an outstanding keynote lecture Just Biomedical Research based on her most recent book The Postgenomic Condition. Drawing inspiration from Arendt’s original formulation of human condition, Professor Reardon powerfully argued that simplistic narratives that genomic science - and precision medicine - will produce new cures and miracle drugs obscure harder questions about not only the meaning of genomic data but also how and by whom decisions about who lives and dies should be made.

8th International Nanomedicine Conference

The 8th International Nanomedicine Conference was hosted by the ACN and chaired by Centre Co-Director Professor Maria Kavallaris, and Professors Richard Tilley and Nico Voelcker. The Conference took place at the Crowne Plaza, Coogee Beach from 3-5 July 2017. This is a key event in the nanomedicine research community and was attended by biologists, clinicians, chemists, material chemists and engineers from around the world.

The conference welcomed over 200 delegates from 17 countries. 5 plenary speakers, 11 keynote and 21 invited speakers led discussions in 8 conference theme areas. This year we had the great honour of welcoming NSW Minister for Health and Minister for Medical Research, the Hon. Brad Hazzard MP who officially opened the conference. Monday night saw the annual conference dinner where the Guest of Honour UNSW Dean of Engineering Professor Mark Hoffman delivered a short speech and shared his insights on nanomedicine.

48 ACN members, post-doctoral researchers, and PhD students attended the conference and presented their research including 10 oral presentations and 13 posters. Congratulations go to 3 of our PhD students who won the conference prizes: Mrs Raheleh Pardehkorram received the Small prize for Best PhD oral presentation; Mrs Susan Tan and Mr Jonathan Wojciechowski won the Mark Wainwright Analytical Centre and ACS Journals poster prizes. Special thanks go to our conference Support Committee team leaders Dr Robert Utama, Mr Manish Sriram, Dr Adam Martin and Dr Josh Peterson and our wonderful team of volunteers who helped make the event successful.

NanoMedicine Elevator Pitches

An elevator pitch is a succinct, persuasive speech to get your ideas and concepts across. The purpose of this event is to increase dialogue and encourage cross disciplinary research collaboration within ACN.

As part of our ongoing drive to develop emerging leaders and retain talents through workshops and providing postdoc and PhDs the opportunity to plan and host workshops, we launched the NanoMedicine Elevator Pitches event. Dr Adam Martin was actively involved in organizing and chairing this event. Adam is an NHMRC-ARC Dementia Research Development Fellow and joined the ACN in 2016. Members from 7 groups pitched their research to a panel of experts. Topics range from “Antimicrobial polymeric nanomaterials”, “Tumour-targeting peptide-drug conjugates” to “Is biomedicine a Ponzi scheme?”

Bottom Right: ACN Co-Director Prof Maria Kavallaris presenting Dr Rob Utama with People’s Choice Award for his presentation entitled: High throughput 3D cell culture at the push of a button

Panel Discussion with ECRs

Drawing from the wealth of talent within ACN members, the ACN also organized a unique panel discussion, entitled: An ECR's Perspective on Obtaining Your First Fellowship. Six of our fully funded ECR fellows participated in the panel discussion. Dr Adam Martin put in great effort in the planning of this event. Dr Declan Kuch chaired the discussion.

The panel discussion is a great addition to our regular seminars. It once again gives our ECRs, postdocs and PhDs the opportunity to plan and chair panel discussion and seminar sessions, which all fits well into our top most strategic priority People/Talent.

Seed Funding

ACN launched the seed funding program as a strategic initiative in 2015. The purpose of the program is to provide seed funding to ACN members to pursue research that can lead to future grant applications. One of the key requirements is that projects must involve collaboration between ACN members across two or more different groups.

The seed funding program has helped ECRs and students manage their own projects on a small scale and generate some results that they can use for their own grant applications in the future. It helped them forge new collaborations within ACN and put people with differing backgrounds in the same room to talk about how to tackle new problems together. A few papers have been generated with data produced from the seed funding projects, including one published in Angewandte Chemie as a VIP (very important paper); and data generated from another project was used in the successful application for an ARC discovery project.
