A/Prof John Murray's Linkage Grant success
Published on the 28 Jun 2013
The School is proud to announce that Associate Professor John Murray has been awarded an ARC Linkage Grant for his project, "Innovative mathematical modelling to determine incorporation of gene therapy in different cell lineages; Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) as a model setting".
A/Prof Murray will collaborate with Dr Geoff Symonds of Calimmune to produce mathematical models of how gene therapy delivered to one type of cell can differentiate into the desired end target and impact disease.
A/Prof Murray has carried out previous joint work with Dr Symonds under a Linkage Project, most recently with their 2010-2012 research investigating the effectiveness of gene therapy in the laboratory, and estimating its impact on an HIV-infected individual.
Only three Linkage Projects were awarded nationwide in Mathematics and Statistics in this round.
A very big congratulations to John!
