  • 2012 - Gottschalk Medal, Australian Academy of Science

Overview

Katharina Gaus was affiliated with the University of New South Wales in Australia. The research conducted spanned multiple domains, chiefly within biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, alongside significant contributions in engineering.

The subfields of study linked to their work included biomedical engineering, biophysics, molecular biology, immunology, and oncology. This interdisciplinary approach supported investigations across a range of biomedical and biotechnological topics.

Key areas of research engagement involved advanced fluorescence microscopy techniques, T-cell and B-cell immunology, optical coherence tomography applications, immune cell function and interaction, 3D printing in biomedical research, advanced electron microscopy techniques and applications, and advanced biosensing and bioanalysis techniques.

Frequent collaborators throughout the research career were:

  • J. Justin Gooding
  • Jesse Goyette
  • Richard D. Tilley
  • Yuanqing Ma
  • Jongho Baek

Publications consistently appeared in the following venues:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • ACS Nano
  • International Journal of Molecular Sciences
  • Communications Biology
  • Chemical Science

Recent published papers included:

  • "Unveiling the Relationship between the Perovskite Precursor Solution and the Resulting Device Performance," 2020, Journal of the American Chemical Society
  • "Canonical T cell receptor docking on peptide-MHC is essential for T cell signaling," 2021, Science
  • "A 3D Bioprinter Specifically Designed for the High-Throughput Production of Matrix-Embedded Multicellular Spheroids," 2020, iScience
  • "Ultraprecise single-molecule localization microscopy enables in situ distance measurements in intact cells," 2020, Science Advances
  • "Tuning of the Aggregation Behavior of Fluorinated Polymeric Nanoparticles for Improved Therapeutic Efficacy," 2020, ACS Nano

The research portfolio also included diverse applications of microscopy and cell biology techniques, as evident in the topics of these papers and the journals of publication.

Katharina Gaus received the Gottschalk Medal from the Australian Academy of Science in 2012.
