Professor Matt Trau is currently Professor of Chemistry and an ARC Federation Fellow at the University of Queensland. Prof. Trau has built an international reputation in the area of nanostructured assembly and manipulation of matter in order to produce novel materials and devices. Applications of this work include novel devices for rapid DNA sequencing, diagnostics, drug screening, and novel biomaterials for human implants. His work in this general area has resulted in two Nature and two Science publications, as well as many follow-on publications and patents.
Prior to joining the University of Queensland, Prof Trau was a Fulbright Research Fellow within the Chemical Engineering Department at Princeton University, and he has also spent time as a visiting Professor at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School. Prof. Trau is an Executive Member of the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN), and is also the founder and director of Nanomics BioSystems Pty Ltd - an Australian biotechnology company focused on commercialising platform nanotechnologies applicable to high-throughput biomolecular analysis.
