Dr Alain Wuethrich is a NHMRC Emerging Leadership fellow and DECRA awardee at the Centre for Personalised Nanomedicine, Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, the University of Queensland (UQ). His multidisciplinary research develops diagnostic tools that harness nanomaterials and microfluidics to deliver patient-specific multi-molecular profiles. Currently, his research focuses on the development of highly sensitive and multiplexed systems to study extracellular vesicles in cancer, detect immune overreactions in cancer and infectious diseases, and monitor aberrant protein phosphorylation in lung cancer.
