Project opportunity
This Earmarked Scholarship project is aligned with a recently awarded Category 1 research grant. It offers you the opportunity to work with leading researchers and contribute to large projects of national significance.
The studentship will develop novel molecular imaging probes based on the state-of-art nanotechnology for specific diagnosis and theranostic applications. Development theme include: functional nanohybrids, stimuli-responsive smart nanoassemblies, molecular probes and imaging methods. The project advisors will be Dr Ruirui Qiao and Prof Tom Davis. Additional supervisor(s) may be included depending on the exact direction of the PhD program.
Scholarship value
As a scholarship recipient, you'll receive:
- living stipend of $32,192 per annum tax free (2023 rate), indexed annually
