Proteomic characterisation of adipose stem cells
Isolation of adipose stem cells from human abdominal lipoaspirates
Expansion of cells using traditional media and xeno-free alternatives
Investigation of cryopreservation on adipose stem cells
Proteomic characterisation was achieved through analysing whole cell lysates, membrane bound fractions and extracellular vesicles on a Q Exactive Plus Orbitrap mass spectrometer
Examination of 27 secreted cytokines with a Bioplex multiplex immunoassay
Kynurenine pathway in adipose stem cells
Collaboration with St Vincent's Centre for Applied Medical Research and Macquarie University
Adipose stem cells were treated with interferon gamma and the neurotoxin Quinolinic Acid for metabolomic analysis
Kynurenine pathway metabolites were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
Digital media
Creation of digital media content for multiple sclerosis patients, utilisation of this digital media for education, and investigation of self-regulated learning
