Dr Alain Wuethrich is a NHMRC Emerging Leadership fellow and DECRA awardee at the Centre for Personalised Nanomedicine, Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, the University of Queensland (UQ). Alain obtained his PhD in Chemistry in 2016 from the University of Tasmania, after which he joined UQ as a Swiss National Science Foundation fellow under the mentorship of Prof Matt Trau. His multidisciplinary research develops diagnostic tools that harness nanotechnology and microfluidics to deliver patient-specific molecular profiles for precision medicine. Currently, his research focuses on the development of highly sensitive and multiplexed systems to study extracellular vesicles in cancer, detect immune toxicities in cancer and infectious diseases, and monitor aberrant protein phosphorylation in lung cancer.

Abstract

One reason that has limited

Precision medicine is regarded as one of the most promising approaches to treat or even cure many severe diseases including cancer. Although precision medicine has delivered new and individualised treatment plans such as targeted therapy or immune checkpoint therapy, it has not yet lived up to its full promise. One reason that has limited the advancement of precision medicine is the requirement for a specific molecular profile to tailor the therapy. The creation of such a molecular profile is difficult and requires highly sensitive and specific technologies that can detect accurately multiple biomarkers in readily accessible biofluids. Nanomaterial- and nanostructured-based systems have attracted interest due to their unique physico-chemical properties that can be explored as nanodiagnostics for molecular profiling in precision medicine. 

This presentation will highlight examples of nanodiagnostics for: 

(1) Monitoring targeted therapy in melanoma 

(2) Early detection of melanoma 

(3) Tracking drug-induced epithelial–mesenchymal transition in breast cancer 

(4) Monitoring the immune system with single cytokine resolution
