个人简介
The research of Dr Khay Fong centres upon the self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules into nanostructures and nanoparticles. The overarching aim of her research is to develop a platform nanotechnology that can be used in the creation of better medicines and diagnostic tools.
On-demand drug delivery
Dr Fong’s research adds an extra element of control where she has created nanomaterials that can be selectively turned on – by heat, laser light, a change in pH and digestion – on demand. Having control over when the drug is released will provide health care professionals ultimate control over treatment plans of patients.
Understanding fundamental interactions
Another major focus of Dr Fong’s research is the effect of the physiological environment on the properties on the drug delivery material itself. Biomolecules can change the intended fate of nanoparticles when dosed. Understanding both the effect of native biomolecules on the drug delivery system as well as the effect of drug delivery system on physiological systems is essential for their realisation as on-demand treatments.
Current position at the University of Newcastle (UON)
Dr Fong is a Lecturer in Chemistry in the Faculty of Science in the School of Environmental and Life Sciences at UON. Her teaching focuses on analytical, physical and colloidal chemistry. Her research projects utilise synchrotron science, light scattering and synthesis of nanoparticles as well as novel amphiphiles.
Dr Fong is an active member of the Australasian Colloid and Interface Science Society and part of the local organising committee for IACIS2021.
Dr Fong is on the board of directors of Drug Delivery Australia (Australian Chapter of the Controlled Release Society).
Before UON
Dr Fong completed her PhD at the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences (2013). She subsequently was awarded a highly competitive Victorian Postdoctoral Research Fellowship which took her to ETH Zurich, Switzerland (2014-15) and back to Monash (2016). She was the first recipient of the National Center of Competence in Research in Bio-Inspired Materials Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for Women at the Adolphe Merkle Institute, Université de Fribourg, Switzerland (2017-18).
