Key highlights:
- Attracted co-sponsorship from potential industry partner, Abionic Switzerland to test the utility of allergens of subtropic Bahia and Bermuda grass pollen to function as an active ingredient in a nanotechnology point-0f-care diagnostic platform
- Research collaborations with ThermoFisher Scientific Sweden, Abionic Switzerland and Stallergenes Greer, France, Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology and Abacus dx
- Dr Davies was promoted to Associate Professor and then Professor
- Recombinant allergens have been optimised and verified by Abionic
- Newly designed, expressed and purified allergen components successfully assessed for quality by mass spectrometry by APAF
“I am and will remain grateful for having received the financial support from the Foundation and for the opportunities the grant afforded me. Perhaps beyond the tangible, the greatest benefit may well be the learning and growth in knowledge and experience in the commercial side of translation that this project has provided.”
