Biography
Dr Andrew Care (Honarary MQ Research Fellow) is a Chancellor's Postdoctoral Research Fellow and a Chief investigator in the ARC Research Hub for Integrated Devices for End-user Analysis at Low Levels (IDEAL) at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). Prior to joining UTS, Andrew received a PhD in ‘Chemistry & Biomolecular Sciences’ from MQ, and completed a post-doctoral position in ‘Nanoparticle-based Drug Delivery Systems’ in the MQ-node of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics. During this time, his research focused on engineering biomolecules that self-assemble into functional biomaterials for applied nanobiotechnology. Building on this work, Andrew was awarded a Cancer Institute NSW Early Career Fellowship to investigate the utility of biologically-derived nanoparticles as therapeutic tools. In 2021, Andrew relocated his transdisplinary research program to UTS, where his team continues to develop novel nanotechnologies by combining the fields of nanomedicine, materials science, synthetic biology, pharmacology, and cancer/neuro-biology.
