معرفی
Professor Neil Cameron is the Monash Warwick Alliance Professor of Polymer Materials, splitting his time between Monash University's Department of Materials Science and Engineering (Australia) and the University of Warwick's School of Engineering (UK). His research focuses on polymeric biomaterials for applications in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and drug delivery. He holds a PhD in Polymer Chemistry and a BSc in Chemistry from the University of Strathclyde.
Key research themes include:
- New Tools for Biology: Scaffolds for 3D cell culture, glycopolymers, and polypeptides.
- New Tools for Chemistry: Supported catalysts and mass spectrometry methods for polymer sequencing.
- Materials for Medicine: Drug delivery systems targeting the eye, nanomedicine, and biodegradable scaffolds.
- Synthetic Biology: Polymersome-based protocells and glycosylated nanoparticles.
His projects span interdisciplinary collaborations, including the development of biodegradable ligament scaffolds, functionalized cellulose materials, and novel mass spectrometry techniques. He leads or co-investigates grants such as the SURE-Poly project on recyclable polymers and the NHMRC Equipment Grant for UV lamp adaptors.
Labs/Teams: Active in Monash’s Materials Science group and collaborates with Warwick researchers. His lab specializes in biomaterials design, with a focus on scalable production and clinical applications.
