About me

Prof Benjamin Thierry is the University of South Australia Professor of Bioengineering and a Research Leader at the Future Industries Institute. He is a NHMRC Investigator Fellow and the Head of the South Australian Node of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Convergent Bio and Nano Science and Technology (CBNS). He received his PhD in Biomedical Engineering from McGill University in 2004 and has since received prestigious awards, including two Career Development Fellowships. He was awraded in 2020 a NHMRC Investigator Fellowships (Addressing Healthcare Disparities in Remote and Low Resource Settings with Solid-State Biodiagnostic Devices).

About me

Prof Thierry leads the translational Bioengineering group which aims to develop and implement novel biodiagnostic and prognostic technologies and is currently involved in several clinical translation/commercialization activities. A significant outcome of his research has been the development of a patented cancer staging diagnostic technology that has received substantial commercial interest and investment through a spin-off company, Ferronova Pty Ltd. Ferronova has raised over $3.5 million in 2020 to fund several on-going clinical trials in Australia and the US. Another significant research focus is the development of biodiagnostic technologies aimed at improving prenatal care, especially in rural and low-ressource settings. In close collaboration with industry partners and clinicians, he is leading a comprehensive research program aimed at enabling better detection and treatment of pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia and pre-term birth. He co-founded SanguisDx in 2020 to accelerate the development of his solid-state diagnostic platform. He has also developed and patented a technology aimed at enabling comprehensive non-invasive prenatal genetic testing, which is currently being developed through a NHMRC Development Grant.

With the support of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Convergent Bio and Nano Science, Prof Thierry leads a research program oaimed at the development of next-generation in vitro organ and disease models, including models based on "organs-on-chips" concept and 3D Bioprinting. A specific focus is on patients derived tumour-on-chip models that recapitulate the tumour microenvironment. These models are being used to assist in the development of better cancer therapeutics, including based on ionizing radiation and immunotherapy.

Research

Current research & highlights

Current research areas:

"Intraoperative cancer staging": Ferronova ltd pty has been spun off to develop and commercialize our cancer staging technology. The company is based at the Future Industries Institute and active;y collaborate with the University of Sydney, the Univerity of New South Wales, the Royal Adelaide Hospital and the MD Anderson Cancer Research Institute.
"Molecular Imaging": At the convergence of nanoscience and molecular biology, our research supported by a NHMRC Project Grant in collaboration with Prof Eben Rosenthal at Stanford University aims at developing new molecular imaging tracers able to guide surgery and/or radiotherapy.
Building on the outcomes on an ARC Discovery Grant, we are developing a solid-state Point-of-Care biodiagnostic technology able to quantitatively measure diagnostic biomarkers from finger-prick blood. In collabroration with end-users and stake-holders such as the Royal Flying Doctor Service, we are working towards implemening this technology towards reducing the healthcare disparities between metropolitan and rural Australia. A spin-off company has been launched in 2020 to advance to support this effort: Sanguis Diagnostics.
“Organs-on-chips” technology: With the support of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Convergent Bio Nano Science, our team is actively developing in vitro tissues models, including intestinal tissues and placental tissues. "Tumour-on-chip" models that recapitulate the tumour microenvironment are also being developed towards assisting in the development of more personalised treatments.
"Prenatal diagnostics": We are actively collaborating with clinicians and industry partners to develop the next generation of prenatal diagnostic technology.
"Cancer immunotherapy manufacturing": We are actively collaborating with Carina Biotech to develop improved manufacturing protocols for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-T) cells, the bioengineered immune cells that are the basis of ground-breaking cellular immunotherapy – a transformative cancer therapy that harnesses the power of a patient’s immune system to fight their cancer.
