Dr Azadeh Nilghaz is a biomedical researcher in the Future Industries Institute at the University of South Australia (UniSA). She has over 7 years of experience in developing Microfluidic Systems. She is currently leading two ambitious research projects;

a) Developing low-cost lab-on-a-chip tests for diagnostic applications. Specifically, she is developing point-of-care approaches to detect/screen common pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia and bacterial vaginosis which have severe consequences for both mother and baby. She endeavours to fulfil the requirement set by the World Health Organization and the Indigenous Australians Health Program in providing women living in remote/regional/low resource settings with better access to effective, comprehensive primary antenatal care.

b) Developing a novel concept of pumpless organ-on-a-chip technology. This technology (Australian patent application No. 2019904151) is designed to increase the uptake of organs-on-chips models as it can be readily employed by non-specialized end-users to prepare advanced in vitro models based on cell lines or patient-derived organoids. Her invention is currently central to three different projects: (1) In vitro culture of adenovirus and norovirus (ARC Linkage project with SA Water and Murdoch University), (2) Screening for plants and seeds bioactives (Collaboration with the University of Adelaide) and (3) Co-culture of prostate cancer organoids (Collaboration with University of Adelaide and Monash University).
