Dr Ainslie Derrick-Roberts is a Research Associate in the Plasma Medicine Group based at Mawson Lakes, Future Industries Institute. She received her PhD from the University of Adelaide (based at the Women's and Children's Hospital, Department of Paediatrics), where she pioneered the role of substrate deprivation therapy in Sanfilippo syndrome. She was the Malcolm Douglas Grant Post-Doctoral Research Fellow developing models of skeletal disease in Morquio syndrome.
Ainslie joined the Plasma Medicine Group to develop in vitro and ex vivo models of skin biology and translate this work to preclinical models to further understand the mechanism of action of highly-ionised energy known as plasma. Ainslie is also interested in... Read more

Dr Ainslie Derrick-Roberts is a Research Associate in the Plasma Medicine Group based at Mawson Lakes, Future Industries Institute. She received her PhD from the University of Adelaide (based at the Women's and Children's Hospital, Department of Paediatrics), where she pioneered the role of substrate deprivation therapy in Sanfilippo syndrome.

Ainslie joined the Plasma Medicine Group to develop in vitro and ex vivo models of skin biology and translate this work to preclinical models to further understand the mechanism of action of highly-ionised energy known as plasma. Ainslie is also interested in developing complex multispecies biofilm infection models in diabetic wounds and burn injury to develop novel treatments for these conditions that don't rely on antibiotic delivery. Ainslie is working with materials scientists and physical chemists to develop novel wound dressings and investigate the use of low-temperature, atmospheric-pressure plasmas for biological and medical applications particularly in regards to improving wound healing and decontamination in chronic wound settings.
