Overview
Background
Anjana Jayasree is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at The University of Queensland's School of Pharmacy, specializing in the development of innovative nanomaterials for biomedical applications. Her current research focuses on designing metallic and polymeric nanoparticles/microparticles to combat antimicrobial resistance, addressing a critical global health challenge. She was awarded the Dean's Award for Outstanding HDR Theses for her exceptional PhD work from the University of Queensland in December 2023.
Previously, Anjana's research included the development of nanoengineered titanium implants to enhance bioactivity for osseointegration and soft tissue integration. She has also worked on creating polymeric scaffolds for bone and tendon tissue engineering and innovating therapeutic bandage systems for diabetic wound healing. These contributions demonstrate her expertise in applying advanced materials to solve complex biomedical problems.
Anjana's expertise extends to advanced microscopy, nanomaterial characterization, and bio-fabrication techniques. She is dedicated to translating her research into practical applications that improve animal and human health, with a strong emphasis on combating antimicrobial resistance.
