MQ Human Blood Plasma Colorectal Cancer Biomarkers
Scholarship Description
A full-time PhD scholarship is available in Chemistry & Biomolecular Sciences, at the Australian Proteome Analysis Facility (APAF) Macquarie University. This project investigates the discovery of new blood based human colorectal cancer protein biomarkers through a collaborative China:NSW cancer proteomics program funded by NSW government and located in the Australian Proteome Analysis Facility (APAF). Discover protein profiles in plasma indicative of colorectal cancer (CRC) by the discovery, quantitation and validation of low abundance proteins that change during CRC. Use the most advanced proteomics technologies available with a new abundant protein immunodepletion method patented by Macquarie University. Laboratory experience highly advantageous.
