Artificial intelligence-guided detection of tumour peptides for immunotherapy against therap y-resistant cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC)
North Queensland has the highest incidence of CSCC worldwide, which has a huge impact on the local population. With a high tumour mutational burden, CSCC is responsive to immunotherapy, however therapy-resistant CSCC presents a significant challenge. This project aims to detect and select tumour-specific peptides for immunotherapy in patients with therapy-resistant CSCC. The focus on tumour-specific peptides aims to ensure that these peptides are unique to tumour cells, thereby minimising the risk of triggering autoimmunity in treated patients. This innovative approach seeks to enhance the precision and safety of immunotherapies by targeting tumour-specific antigens.
How magnetic resonance impacts on immune regulatory factor secretion from brain tumour cells during radiotherapy
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES 1. To investigate how magnetic resonance impacts on brain tumour cell growth and immune regulatory factor secretion from brain tumour cells during radiotherapy 2. To identify and quantify specific immune regulatory factors which are observed during irradiation within a magnetic field.
Closing the circular food economy: Advanced technologies to optimise black soldier fly (BSF) larvae nutritional composition for inclusion in aquafeed
Black soldier fly (BSF) biomass is a highly valuable source of nutrients for terrestrial and aquatic animals and has shown to include health promoting compounds that enhances animal production. However, the quality and composition of BSF biomass depends on numerous factors including the BSF stocks, rearing conditions including waste stream diets, post-harvest processing methods and storage conditions. To-date, there is currently little information available on the optimum post-harvest processing technologies and real-time on farm monitoring systems to maximise black soldier fly protein profiles for inclusion in aquafeeds. The objective of this study is to generate on-farm data to improve the nutritional profile of BSF larvae for their application as a substitute component in aquafeed. To achieve this aim, three main studies will be conducted, the first one will focus on generating optimum BSF larvae nutritional data through post-harvest technologies to enhancing BSF larvae composition for aquafeed, the second will focus on the development of a rapid digital diagnostic NIR tool for the real-time evaluation of organic waste streams and BSF larvae composition, and the final study will generate critical data on the effects of feeding BSF larvae on growth performance, gut health and product quality of black tiger marine shrimp.

Geodynamic Andes eXploration Initiative (GAXI)
The project is aimed to advance understanding of the spatial and temporal distribution and genesis of Cu-Mo-Au/Au-Cu and Au-Ag mineral systems and the potential for other associated critical minerals and their exploration targeting along the western margin of South America. The project’s South America focus region provides exceptional opportunities to drive new greenfield ore discoveries. The project is designed to enhance the overall discovery potential of western South American margin and unlock new prospective areas for diverse commodities and deposit types and reduce search space through increased predictive power and effectiveness in ongoing exploration programs.

Workshopping a reef restoration toolkit for Wallis et Futuna as a model for Pacific Island nations
This project aims to achieve two main objectives:
1) Rapid analysis of recent mass coral bleaching and recovery in Wallis and Futuna. Utilising existing photographic data (from April 2024), we will use CoralNet point-count software to identify severely affected reef sites and assess bleaching severity and susceptibility of coral species between sites. Follow-up surveys in October 2024 will determine bleaching-related mortality and recovery progress prior to summer 2024/2025. These surveys, conducted by the Wallis and Futuna Service Territorial de l’Environnement (STE), will compare data with the April surveys. Additionally, discussions are underway with National Geographic to include a summer 2025 survey. This analysis will guide prioritisation of reefs for restoration intervention and identify resilient reefs for protection.
2) Support three representatives from the Wallis and Futuna STE to attend specialised training in Townsville, Australia in February 2025, with online preparatory training from August 2024 to February 2025. Townsville is a leading hub for reef restoration research, with state of the art facilities and leading scientists. Training will focus on participatory reef monitoring, restoration techniques, and experimental design, facilitated by collaborators at the Australian Institute of Marine Science. Activities include visits to restoration sites, training on technologies such as CoralClip, coral gardening, ReefSeed, ‘sea-weeding,’ and ReefCloud, presentations on emerging restoration methods, and workshops for adapting techniques to local contexts. Reciprocal knowledge exchange will help guide both future Australian research to be applicable for Pacific islands, as well as arm Wallisian and Futunian delegates with knowledge to develop strategies for reef monitoring and management into the future.
