The thesis achieves a transformative synergy between optical imaging and bio-fabrication to pioneer high-speed volumetric screening/printing for 3D tissue models. The thesis addresses critical bottlenecks in pharmaceutical testing, establishing a new standard for the next generation of drug discovery platforms (pdf).
The Frank Fenner Medal
The Frank Fenner Medal is awarded annually for the most outstanding PhD thesis submitted in The John Curtin School of Medical Research at The Australian National University. The award consists of a medal and a monetary prize. The purpose of the Frank Fenner medal is to encourage PhD students in the School to strive for excellence. The Medal is one of the few prizes to reward outstanding achievement at such an early career stage.
