Perth, Western Australia
Joined October 2018
I was delighted to present my #BioImageAnalysis work at #ACMM27 earlier this month. Extremely humbled to receive the John Farrant Prize for the best student talk in Biological/Medical Sciences. Very excited to release this project soon! #Microscopy #ImageJ @YuSukChoi @UWAresearch

Showcasing the hard work of @Seb_Amos, PhD student in improving 3D imaging and volumetric analysis (photo in the right obviously😆) Cells look so different in 3D vs on 2D (spheroid green vs. individual orange) @UWAresearch @UWAhumanscience @AuSMBSoc @ASBTE1 @MatrixBioANZ
Welcome to our new @ANZSCDB state rep for Western Australia! Dr @YuSukChoi aims to develop biomimetic hydrogels to study mechanical interaction between cells and their microenvironment. Image credit @Seb_Amos

My research focuses on the mechanical challenges that cancer cells must navigate to spread successfully, a process known as metastasis. I study changes to cancer cell adhesion and the mechanical conditioning that might enhance and protect them on their deadly journey.
Hydrogels are used to mimic the mechanical and chemical properties of tissues which allow for cells to be studied in more representative and translatable environments. #biozone #uwa @UWAresearch

To study the initial steps of the metastatic cascade, I use hydrogels to mimic normal and cancerous microenvironments in 3D. This allows me to investigate how tumour growth, escape and local invasion are mechanically linked.

Whether it’s in the fight against cancer or progress towards regenerative medicine, in the case of my colleague, Sam, hydrogels improve the translatability of our research… and let us capture stunning 3D datasets!

BioZone PhD candidates @Seb_Amos, @Danielle_Vahala, Sam and Eric had a fantastic time participating in the @UWAPSA Research Week Sundowner! They spoke about the BioZone program and all things research and innovation with students, staff and industry professionals. #biozone

We're back! Meet the BioZone cohort! Here at BioZone, we seek innovative solutions that address the increasing complexity of local and global challenges as well as 'wicked problems'. These problems require transformative change in the way we learn, think and interact.
