ANFF Seminars: CFD simulation and modelling
2020-03-19 14:30 - 15:30 (Australia/Melbourne) | MCN Board Room, 151 Wellington Rd, Clayton, VIC, 3168, Australia
ANFF SA’s simulation expert, Dr Moein Kashani will be presenting a seminar and webinar on simulation techniques for modelling fluid dynamics on 19 March 2020.
The talk will focus on Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation (CFD), a concept that can be applied to all transfer phenomena, including: fluid flow in microfluidics, microfluidic mixing, heat and mass transfer, molecular diffusion, cell separation, purification, multi-phase flow and electrical behaviour in semiconductors.
Follow online, or attend the seminar at the Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication to learn about the benefits that simulation can bring to your process flows.
Tickets for physical attendance are limited, but the event will also be broadcast online for those that can’t be here in person.

MCN Seminar Series featuring Prof Kevin Plaxco (UCSB)
2021-04-01 11:00 - 12:00 UTC | MCN Board Room, 151 Wellington Rd, Clayton, VIC, 3168, Australia
Prof Kevin Plaxco from the University of California Santa Barbara, will be presenting a seminar and webinar on the fabrication of biosensors titled, “Counting molecules, dodging blood cells: continuous, real-time molecular measurements directly in the living body”
Abstract:
The availability of technologies capable of tracking the levels of drugs, metabolites, and biomarkers in real time in the living body would revolutionize our understanding of health and our ability to detect and treat disease. Imagine, for example, a dosing regime that, rather than relying on your watch (“take two pills twice a day”), is instead guided by second-to-second measurements of plasma drug levels wirelessly communicated to your smartphone. Such a technology would likewise provide researchers and clinicians an unprecedented window into neurology and physiology, and could even support ultra-high-precision personalized medicine in which drug dosing is optimized minute-by-minute using closed-loop feedback control. Towards this goal, we have developed a biomimetic, electrochemical sensing platform that supports the high frequency, real-time measurement of specific molecules (irrespective of their chemical reactivity) in situ in the blood and tissues of awake, freely moving subjects.
Short Bio:
Kevin Plaxco is a Professor, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and Associate Director, Center for Bioengineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Prior to joining the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1998 Dr. Plaxco received his Ph. D. from Caltech and performed postdoctoral studies at Oxford and the University of Washington. Dr. Plaxco has co-authored more than 180 papers on protein folding, protein dynamics, folding-based biosensors and folding-based smart materials. He has also co-authored a popular science book on Astrobiology and more than a dozen patents. He is actively involved in the commercialization of the novel technologies emerging from his laboratory and serves on the scientific advisory boards of a half dozen companies.

Research Commercialisation Seminar: David Collard, SaniteX Global
2021-08-30 10:00 - 11:00 UTC | Victoria
MCN Users—
As a vibrant and collaborative research centre, we know that the MCN is always playing host to the development of a range of new technologies from proof of concept demonstrations to more mature products/devices. We also know that the significant challenge of research translation leaves many promising technological solutions sitting on the shelf. In order to help shed some light on this nebulous and daunting process, MCN will be hosting a talk by SaniteX Global, a US based hybrid commercialisation fund aimed at assisting researchers with scaling technologies and bringing them to market.

If you’re interested in hearing more, Sanitex founder David Collard will be delivering a talk via zoom on 30th August, 10-11am, concerning their unique Scale Facilitation model. Event registration required (see link above).
