ANU Scientists win big for their research projects
Four research students from Australian National University have done revolutionary research in the field of tissue engineering, using which they are able to explain how individuals are able to experience emotions and thus communicate with each other. For their work, they are rewarded with ACT Young Tall Poppy Science Award.
Dr Kiara Bruggeman, Dr Joshua Chu-Tan, Dr Bjorn Sturmberg and Dr Amy Dawel have been rewarded as a token of appreciation for the field of sciences and communicative work for the public. Moreover, this award is a consideration of an early indicator of highlighting the young scientist and their contribution to the field of sciences that would be beneficial for Australia as well as the world.
Meanwhile, Dr Bruggeman is currently working on new treatments for individuals who are suffering from strokes. Besides, she will utilise the concept of biotechnology and nanoscience that would provide a developing and supportive role in helping the body recover from a disease or injury. Likewise, Dr Chu Tan is working on the development of molecular messages that can be harnessed when we exercise. Thus developing a potential form of therapy.The students of ANU who won the award are a part of more than 50 scientists of ACT who has been awarded since the introduction of this award in 2002.
