Understanding the interplay between chromatin architecture and DNA repair. Chromatin architecture is crucial for many biological processes, the most well described being transcriptional regulation; however, the interplay between 3D chromatin organisation and DNA repair pathway engagement remains to be characterised. The overarching aim of this project is to investigate how chromatin architecture regulates DNA repair. We will focus on the role ATR-activating proteins play in recruiting the nucleosome remodelling and deacetylase (NuRD) chromatin remodelling complex to promote long-range chromatin interactions and homologous recombination (HR)-mediated repair. This project will create new knowledge of how DNA repair pathways are activated, and characterise a level of DNA repair regulation not previously comprehended. Field of research: 3105 - Genetics Accurate DNA repair is of central importance to biology across all domains of life. Cells constantly face endogenous and exogenous threats that can cause DNA damage. To counteract these threats, cells activate a comprehensive and multifaceted DNA damage response. Ineffective or mismanaged DNA repair leads to genome instability. Enacting the DNA damage response requires cells to modify the complex highly-ordered three-dimensional structure of DNA. While we know these modifications occur, we know little about the chromatin remodelling complexes involved. This project will address this critical gap in knowledge through investigating the role of the NuRD chromatin remodelling complex in the DNA damage response. The outcomes of this project will significantly advance our fundamental understanding of the genome repair mechanisms that are essential for maintaining cellular health. This knowledge has wide-ranging benefits, with particular utility in cellular biotechnology and manufacturing, including agriculture, precision fermentation, recombinant DNA, DNA-based data storage, and cellular systems for food manufacturing. Additionally, accumulated DNA damage can impact normal cell function, tissue health, and cellular aging. Knowledge advancement of DNA repair mechanisms is therefore important for understanding how cells preserve genome integrity, and will support healthy aging, longevity, and overall cellular resilience throughout life.

Toxic Living: Exposure and Immunity in the Time of ‘Forever Chemicals’. This project aims to develop new sociological understanding of exposure and immunity in the time of ‘forever chemicals’. Using innovative qualitative methods and research translation strategies, it will adopt a person- and community-centred approach to investigate experiences of a) living with forever chemicals, and; b) the various forms of autoimmunity with which they have been linked. This will generate foundational knowledge, leading the international scholarship in health sociology. The project will create significant benefit through improved understandings, publicly accessibly resources and targeted policy advice to reduce the inequities and harms of living with pervasive chemical risk in the often toxic conditions of late capitalism. Field of research: 4410 - Sociology ‘Forever chemicals’ – a class of >14,000 synthetic compounds that have been used extensively in industry, textiles, food packaging and consumer products since the 1940s – are now a durable and pervasive part of our world. Because they do not break down in the body or in nature, forever chemicals have been found to contaminate virtually every natural environment worldwide and virtually every bodily system, too. Up to 98% of the world's population are thought to have detectable levels of PFAS in their blood. Yet very little is known about how people understand or experience exposure to forever chemicals or the many negative health effects which with they have been linked. Using innovative qualitative methods, stakeholder engagement and research translation strategies, this project will develop urgently needed person- and community-centred understandings of the growing problem of living with forever chemicals to inform policy improvements, advance health equity and environmental justice and promote wellbeing. Project findings will be widely disseminated among scholarly networks, positioning Australia as a research leader in the field, and among public audiences and policy stakeholders via a public exhibit, informational and advocacy resources, and policy reports. This will yield considerable social and environmental benefits aligned with Australian Government priorities areas supporting healthy and thriving communities and restoring and protecting Australian Environments.

Catalytic Air-gap Electrochemistry - a New Way to Fix Nitrogen. Synthetic nitrogen fixation markets have a global value of AUD 400 B/yr and focus predominantly on fertilisers. This project combines catalysis with air-gap electrochemistry [AGE] to pioneer electrified solutions that enable nitrogen fixation directly from air and water. It targets distributed production methods, at ambient conditions, of nitrogenous chemicals in a significantly more sustainable manner, compared to those generated by the industrial Haber-Bosch process. The research will pioneer the fundamental science required to enable catalytic AGE to deliver these nitrogenous compounds efficiently and effectively, to benefit Australia’s agricultural productivity and sustainable chemical production towards a net-zero economy. Field of research: 3406 - Physical Chemistry As it is critical for society to increasingly transition to a net-zero future, its fundamental chemical building blocks will need to be sourced from non-petrochemical feedstocks and manufactured using renewable energy. Fertilizers underpin contemporary agriculture and food security – 50% of the nitrogen in human bodies is derived from synthetic, fossil-based nitrogen fertilizers, releasing more than 2% of all anthropogenic CO2. The project proposed employs electricity (inherently a renewable option) to mimic elements of lightning to activate nitrogen. This electrochemical approach to 'fixing' nitrogen from the air avoids the use of fossil methane as a necessary input and, compared with current industrial and other proposed experimental methods, dramatically lowers the amount of CO2 produced as a by-product. This project will not only expand knowledge in the field of electrochemistry, but potentially enable new approaches for the sustainable manufacture of other commodity chemicals. Beyond the timeline of this project, this approach may lessen Australia's reliance on synthetic ammonia and mitigate the effect of Australian agriculture's contribution to climate change. The results of this research will not only be widely disseminated in the academic sphere, conferences and through student outreach programs, but also shared at policy round table meetings and with industry partners using the team’s domestic and international networks.

Novel reconstructive microwave photonics for on-chip sensing. This project pioneers the development of reconstructive microwave photonics, a novel and fundamental approach for creating compact, high-performance on-chip sensors. By overcoming critical challenges in system-on-chip integration, the project delivers ultra high-resolution sensing techniques. It lays the groundwork for portable and scalable microwave photonic sensors, unlocking capabilities in precision sensing and enabling applications that were previously unattainable. The project will redefine smart sensing technologies, supporting emerging applications in environmental monitoring, robotics and next-generation Internet of Things. The outcomes strengthen advanced manufacturing, delivering substantial economic and societal benefits. Field of research: 4009 - Electronics, Sensors and Digital Hardware This project will develop a new class of on-chip sensors using reconstructive microwave photonics (RMWP), a breakthrough technology that enables ultra-high-resolution sensing. These small and high-speed sensors can detect subtle measurands, such as trace gas leaks and environmental hazards in real time, enabling applications that were previously unattainable. The RMWP platform is both fundamental and versatile, supporting next-generation capabilities in the Internet of Things, robotics, environmental monitoring, clean energy, and autonomous systems. Its compact, low-power, and scalable nature makes it ideal for developing portable, high-performance sensors that meet the demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0). Aligned with Australia’s national priorities in advanced manufacturing and sovereign semiconductor capability, this research will advance local manufacturing, foster commercialisation and create startup opportunities in deep-tech innovation. This research is particularly timely as Australia strengthens its position at the forefront of Industry 4.0 and future digital infrastructure.
