Evaluating the anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and wound-healing properties of Australian native stingless bee cerumen from Trigona carbonaria, and the effects of bee foraging behaviours on cerumen bioactivity

I have a keen interest in evaluating the potential of natural products to promote wound-healing in humans. Cerumen, a resinous material produced by Australian native stingless bees, is easily obtained; however, the medicinal properties of this natural product have not been widely investigated. Therefore, the proposed PhD project aims to investigate the anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and wound-healing properties of Australian native stingless bee cerumen.
