AUSTRALIA; Obstetrics & Gynaecology PhD Scholarship

Scholarship Description

The University of Melbourne, Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology is offering a PhD scholarship to conduct research on the pathophysiology of human preterm labour. This project will build upon the expertise gained over the past 7 years of investigation into the physiology of human labour conducted at this centre and funded by the NHMRC and other philanthropic organisations. Using a range of proteomic techniques, a number of biomarkers associated with preterm labour have been identified. This project involves investigation of the predictive and diagnostic utility of these putative markers with scope for further exploration of the pathways of preterm labour. Techniques to be utilised include Multiplex solution-array assays, Solid matrix-affinity protein profiling with MALDI-MS, LC-MS/MS, 2D electrophoresis, as well as ELISA, Western blotting, and enzyme assays.
