معرفی
Dr. Amandeep Kaur is a Senior Lecturer in Medicinal Chemistry at Monash University, affiliated with the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. She holds an ARC DECRA Fellowship and previously served as an ARC DECRA Fellow at the University of Sydney (2018–2022). Her research focuses on developing fluorescent tools for imaging protein aggregates in neurodegeneration, photoswitchable probes for super-resolution imaging, and sensing platforms for amyloid microenvironments. Kaur’s work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and innovation.
- Education: PhD in Chemical Biology (thesis: “Fluorescent Tools for Imaging Oxidative Stress in Biology” from University of Sydney).
- Projects:
- Molecular innovations to decode tauopathies at the nanoscale (2026–2030).
- Fluorescent probes for super-resolution imaging of amyloid architecture (2021–2025).
Research Interests: Her lab (Kaur Group) explores fluorescent probes, amyloid structures, and redox biology. Key themes include:
- Design of novel sensors for amyloid fibrils and lipid droplets.
- Development of theranostics for neurodegenerative and infectious diseases.
- Super-resolution microscopy techniques for molecular-scale imaging.
Recent Trends in Publications: Her work emphasizes amyloid imaging, with contributions to understanding aggregation mechanisms and therapeutic interventions. Recent studies highlight applications in tuberculosis drug discovery and gold nanoparticle-based therapies for islet β-cells.
- Awards: ARC DECRA Fellowship (2018).
- Grants/Advising: Supervises PhD students and leads multidisciplinary teams in pharmaceutical sciences and biomedical imaging.
Labs/Teams: The Kaur Group collaborates internationally on projects involving amyloid imaging, redox probes, and theranostic development.
