Graduate Research Excellence Scholarship (GRES)

This PhD project at Monash University Malaysia focuses on the comprehensive lipid profiling of microalgae to identify high-value compounds for nutraceutical applications. Leveraging advanced analytical techniques, the research aims to characterize fatty acids, prenols, sterols, and other bioactive molecules, linking their composition to potential health benefits. The outcomes are expected to support targeted strain selection and product development for sustainable, microalgae-derived nutraceutic...

This PhD project at Monash University Malaysia focuses on developing advanced techniques for the enhanced recovery and purification of lipophilic bioactives from microalgae. The research aims to optimize extraction and separation processes to maximize yield, preserve bioactivity, and ensure high-purity compounds suitable for applications in nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. By supporting sustainable and high-value microalgae-based product development, the project addresses both sci...

This PhD project at Monash University Malaysia focuses on developing a cutting-edge three-dimensional (3D) bioprinted in vitro model that integrates skeletal muscle and adipose tissue to investigate metabolic disorders, particularly insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Conventional in vitro models often fail to capture the complex physiological interactions between tissues involved in glucose regulation. By leveraging advanced bioprinting and tissue engineering techniques, this research aims ...

The Instituto de Investigação e Inovação em Saúde da Universidade do Porto (i3S), Porto, Portugal, is advertising a research fellowship within the Horizon Europe project CARE-IN-HEALTH (CArdiovascular REsolution of INflammation to promote HEALTH). The project focuses on identifying the molecular profile of chronic inflammation linked to cardiovascular disease and its resolution, with the broader goal of supporting new measures and tools for healthcare systems and citizens to maintain health and ...

This PhD project at Monash University Malaysia focuses on developing an innovative aptamer-based biosensing platform for monitoring human exposure to nanoplastics and biotoxins. Addressing a significant technical gap in human exposome studies, the research aims to create a continuous biosensing system capable of detecting and quantifying both biotic and abiotic contaminants directly within the human microenvironment. The biosensing technology leverages short, single-stranded oligonucleotides kno...
