Macrobiome Therapeutics Research Contract
Suchandan Sikder
23 Oct 2025 - 31 Jan 2027
This project involved Macrobiome contracting JCU to undertake R&D activities relating to the clinical development of two hookworm-derived proteins (MBT001 and MBT002) that are candidate drugs for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. The aim of this project is to acquire further data on the drug mechanism(s) of action (MOA) and efficacy is various pre-clinical models of colitis, as well as bioinformatically linking the MOA with the appropriate human disease population to target in future clinical trials.

01 Jan 2019 - 31 Oct 2024
This is a capacity building project on tuberculosis research including clinical trials, genomics, immunology and modelling for policy decision support. It involves researchers at USyd, U Melb, Monash and JCU. My role is in mathematical modelling of tuberculosis and this work will provide a network of tuberculosis researchers with which to collaborate.
