Professor Mark Hernandez has developed a cement admixture material that uses pH-responsive heavy metal toxicity to impair the growth of microorganisms that cause corrosion of concrete wastewater infrastructure. The low-cost admixture can also increase both the compressive and tensile strength of the concrete.
Professor Juliet Gopinath has pioneered a non-mechanical beam steering technology with the potential to be 40 times smaller and 750 times less expensive than systems currently available on the market.
Professor Ding Xue has discovered a critical factor in the signalling between irradiated and non-irradiated cells. A series of preclinical drugs are being developed with the goal of improving patient response to radiation therapy.
Professor Robin Dowell has developed an algorithm that identifies an FDA-approved compound's direct transcriptional targets, saving resources that would be spent in pursuing a suboptimal therapeutic lead.
