Discovery and exploitation of novel biophysical methods for charcterising molecular pathways invld in disease progression

库珀博士对耐抗生素细菌病原体的进展和传播进行了开创性的研究。利用强大的多学科方法，他将利用他的奖学金扩大抗生素耐药性领域的研究，并将通过研究细菌病原体在医疗植入物、套管和导管上形成的生物膜来补充这一重点。库珀博士的澳大利亚奖学金还将协助他研究癌症发生和进化过程中细胞发生的变化。

Dr Cooper has conducted groundbreaking research into the progression and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens. Utilising a strongly multidisciplinary approach, he will use his Fellowship to expand upon this research in the area of antibiotic resistance and will supplement this focus with research into biofilms formed by bacterial pathogens on medical implants, cannulas and catheters. Dr Cooper’s Australia Fellowship will also assist his research into the changes that occur in cells during the initiation and evolution of cancer.
