Project title

Targeting Fibrosis: Identification and characterization of novel compounds which modulate collagen expression

Supervisory Team

Principal Supervisor: Professor Nathan Subramaniam
Associate Supervisor: Dr Gautam Rishi

Project description

Vashil’s research interest lies in compound testing and using genomics methods to measure differences in the expressions of proteins in response. His project utilises cell models to simulate disease states and can be used to gauge the effectiveness and characteristics of the compounds. His project will also focus on using genetic and molecular techniques to find the mode of action of the compounds.
