Dr Fernanda AdameCost-effective restoration of wetlands that protect the Great Barrier ReefGriffith UniversityThis project will apply and advance a novel methodology, which incorporates ecological, economic and social factors to determine the most cost-effective restoration projects based on: 1) Restoration should be cheap, feasible and maximise ecological and social returns; 2) Funds should be allocated to wetlands that efficiently trap terrestrial pollutants; 3) Wetlands that deliver additional ecosystem services should be prioritised.https://www.griffith.edu.au/ |

Dr Nasim AmiralianAdvancement and Commercialisation of Spinifex Nanocellulose Enhanced Rubber ProductsThe University of QueenslandLook to make further advancement and commercialisation of spinifex nanocellulose enhanced rubber products. This proposal involves the application of a patented Queensland nanotechnology for the reinforcement of ultra-thin and strong condoms and surgical gloves, and more durable compounded rubber materials. In the manufacture of condoms, latex rubber materials are sought that are resistant to breakage, but also have high flexibility to allow for a close fit and improved feel of sensation.https://www.uq.edu.au/ |

Dr Zoe BainbridgeIdentifying sources of fine sediments to protect the GBRJames Cook UniversityThis project will for the first time characterise and trace the origin(s) of the sediments that are most responsible for the declining condition of the GBR. This will enable direct targeting of the sources of this material to achieve maximum benefits to GBR health from catchment management actions.https://www.jcu.edu.au/ |

Dr Emma BoldersonTargeting genome stability in cancerQueensland University of TechnologyPatients presenting with metastatic disease are almost exclusively non-curable. It is vital, that we understand this disease at the molecular level, that we identify new therapeutic targets and biomarkers. It is generally agreed that targeting the genome stability pathways, offer one of the best hopes of tackling cancers. Given the evidence, it is vital that we understand how normal cellular processes protect us from genome instability and how ultimately genome stability functions in cancer and cancer progression. A novel mechanism for cancer treatment has been developed that uses chemically modified DNA molecules targeting DNA repair proteins. This research aims to further characterise these DNA molecules as an effective cancer treatment.https://www.qut.edu.au/ |

Dr Mariam DarestaniWater purification pipes for irrigation using poor quality water resourcesQueensland University of TechnologyFreshwater water resources are declining globally. Although other impurities can also harm plants, so often salt is the main issue. Desalination technologies have advanced significantly but still are energy extensive and costly for irrigation. This research aims to develop a cost-effective technology for irrigation. These water purification pipes comprise of hydrogel layer supporting a membrane that faces poor quality water inside the pipes.https://www.qut.edu.au/ |

Dr Kameron DunnTransforming Queensland's agricultural and petroleum waste products into advanced composites.Queensland University of TechnologyThis project seeks to lay down the initial foundations of an Advanced Carbon Fibre Composite Industry forged from the already existing advantages of local Queensland industries. In the broader context, the project seeks to bridge the divide between the existing Queensland Sugarcane Industry and the Queensland Petrochemical Industry and connect, integrate and equip these Queensland industries with advanced manufacturing capability and knowhow in biorefining.https://www.qut.edu.au/ |
