Portable Sensors for Phosphate Detection in Cattle Samples
Yang Liu
10 Mar 2025 - 10 Mar 2029
Addressing phosphorus deficiency in cattle through accurate monitoring can enhance farm productivity and animal welfare. This project aims to develop a portable electrochemical sensing platform for phosphate detection, offering farmers a practical solution to manage phosphorus levels and improve cattle health.
CVI Gondwana
Jon Day
02 Dec 2024 - 31 Dec 2026
Climate change poses an existential threat to global heritage. With rising sea-levels, more extreme weather events and aridification, the extensive impacts of climate are evident at heritage sites globally and the pace of this change is startling. In most parts of the world the rate of loss is exceeding adaptive capacity and this deficit is only getting worse. This includes in Queensland, for which climate change is becoming more and more of an issue, requiring more knowledge and skills to help address the management options. Decisions on conservation and preservation begin with a detailed understanding of a place's vulnerability. The choices made will directly impact that ability to effectively integrate the goals of safeguarding heritage, adapting and mitigating climate change, and driving sustainable activities. This project will apply the Climate Vulnerability Index process to assess the vulnerability of the Queensland component of the Gondwana Rainforests World Heritage property.

Investigating shellfish and mite allergen cross-reactivity and the effect of protein diversity on allergenicity
Ludwig Lopata
05 Feb 2025 - 05 Feb 2027
Shellfish allergy increases in prevalence with age and is often a life-long condition. However, the mechanism of this persistence is largely unknown. Persistence of shellfish allergy may be due to cross-reactive interactions between evolutionarily related species, which may initiate and sustain allergen sensitisation. Cross-reactivity results from shared allergen amino acid sequences between species, causing individual IgE-binding to both. Amino acid diversity may predict sensitisation to shellfish and/or mites, e.g., mite-sensitised individuals may be more at risk of developing shellfish allergy. Other large-scale forms of protein diversity may also influence allergenicity (e.g., environmental changes). Understanding allergen cross-reactivity and diversity will inform prevention and treatment strategies. This project aims to explore immunological and clinical cross-reactivity between shellfish and mite allergens and the effect of environmental temperature on allergen diversity in muscle tissue. This project will be conducted under a postgraduate research top-up scholarship with the Centre for Food Allergy Research (CFAR), which grants $10,000 p.a. top-up to an existing PhD scholarship.
