ANGUS JOHNSTON

Education. B.S. (2011), and M.Sc. (2014), University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez (2011). Nonscientific Interests. Photography, traveling, and diversity advocate in STEM. My research is interdisciplinary and is focused on the study of brain processes with enhanced specificity and temporal resolution using electrochemical, aptamer-based (E-AB) sensors. More specifically, my research focuses on the development of methodologies to match millisecond time responses of biological processes, such as exocytotic cargo release of gliotransmitters in astrocyte cells with E-AB sensing devices.

Current Position. NHMRC Research Fellow and Senior Lecturer, Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Parkville, Victoria, Australia. Education. B.Sc. (Hons I, 2000) majoring in Chemistry; and Ph.D. (2006), University of Queensland, Australia. Nonscientific Interests. Baking, listening to classical music (principally Mahler and Bruckner), gardening, and art (modern and impressionist). My group is interested in understanding how nanomaterials interact with biological systems, with the principal goal of improving drug and vaccine delivery. Our work focuses on developing quantitative techniques to understand how and where nanoparticles are trafficked in cells. We use this information to develop improved nanoparticle delivery systems and engineer proteins for targeting drugs to specific cells. Furthermore, our understanding of biological processes is used to develop virtual reality models to visualize what goes on inside the cell.

Current Position. Ph.D. candidate, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Daejeon, Korea. Education. B.S. (summa cum laude) in Materials Science and Engineering, Hanyang University, Seoul, Korea; and M.S. in Material Science and Engineering, KAIST, Daejeon, Korea. Nonscientific Interests. Watching movies, listening to music, playing soccer. My research focus is on novel synthesis of inorganic nanomaterials, especially optimized for the application in highly sensitive chemical sensors for exhaled breath analysis. Our research team aims to develop novel fabrication methods by using modified electrospinning and nanocatalyst-loaded sacrificial polymeric templates to fabricate nanobuilding blocks with uniformly functionalized catalysts, such as highly porous nanofibers, nanotubes, and hierarchically assembled nanofibers.
