Workshop in Advanced Genomics Tools to Enhance Korean Aquaculture
The development and delivery of a workshop for Advanced Genomics Tools in Korea (through Jeju National University) for korean students, academics and industry players. JCU academic staff expert knowledge will be taught to the Korean scientific community and industry, with the expectation of reinforcing relationship and create new collaboration with Korea.

Investigating shellfish and mite allergen cross-reactivity and the effect of protein diversity on allergenicity
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.

Decoding the genomic basis underpinning Southern Ocean ecosystem resilience to change
This project applies traditional and latest genome sequencing technologies to advance the knowledge of nature's natural evolutionary solutions against climate changes. Expected outcomes of this project include uncovering novel genome structures and gene functions that underpin Southern Ocean species’ adaptation capabilities to climate changes.
