Hydrogen is well recognized for its potential as a future energy source – but few people are aware of another
remarkable ability of the simple H2 molecule. The challenge is this: how can we incorporate para-hydrogen into molecules?

This project will combine analytical and synthetic chemistry to study the metabolic fate and biological activity arising from designer steroids use, with the goal of developing assays to detect the abuse of these agents in sport.

This project will involve collaboration with the ANU Our Health in Our Hands Grand Challenge teams in the College of Engineering & Computer Science and the Research School of Physics.

This project will develop powerful methods of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, coding and computational data analysis to study sulfate metabolites in mammalian systems with the goal of generating freely available tools that reveal the true complexity and roles of sulfate metabolites

BODIPY dyes are widely used as fluorescent tags for key sites in biomolecules. An alternative approach is to develop amine-functionalised BODIPYs which could be appended to peptides or proteins via a cysteine residue.

This project will synthesize foldamers decorated with emissive groups such as pyrene.
