Lauren has just completed the 2nd year of her bachelor of biomedical science degree at Monash university. For the next 6 weeks she will be working with the team to develop silicon nanowire architectures as part of a summer research scholarship. She is excited to be working on such an interesting project as she gains experience in different areas of research. She has previously completed a research project in microbiology.
In the Voelcker lab, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of the interactions between nanostructured materials and human cells and tissues, and their biomolecular products. To that effect, we are developing nanostructured materials and surface chemistries, with a focus on electrochemically etched meso- and macroporous materials. These systems are then optimised for applications in biosensing, drug delivery, regenerative medicine and others.
