Isolation & evaluation of protein pattern of koala retroviruses

Posted on Jan 1 2019 by admin

This honours project in animal science aims to determine the antigenic pattern of isolated Koala retroviruses in South Australia.

We have access to wide ranges of Koala retroviruses in South Australia. The viruses will be cultured and isolated in proper cell cultures.

Key methodology: Cell culture, virus isolation and purification and Western blotting for detection of the viral antigens.

Research area: Pathobiology, infectious disease and public health; molecular biology of viral infectious diseases

Recommended honours enrolment: Honours in Animal Science
