Probe Library
Probe Library is a project created by the New and Jolliffe research groups at The University of Sydney. The project aims to provide a hub for information sharing between laboratories and research groups to most efficiently utilise resources.
The New Group
Research in The New Group, led by Professor Elizabeth New, focuses on the development of fluorescent probes for the selective visualisation of biologically relevant metal ions and redox-active species, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), as well as the development of new sensing platforms for in vivo and environmental applications.
We have developed a range of probes that can be used for confocal microscopy and flow cytometry studies to investigate metal and redox signalling in live cells, and for environmental monitoring of metal contamination. Our research also explores the development of new sensors for the detection of metal ions and redox-active species in complex biological and environmental matrices, including soil and water samples.
Professor Elizabeth New is a leader in the field of bioinorganic chemistry, with a distinguished track record of collaboration and a keen interest in exploring new research opportunities. If you would like to inquire about accessing existing probes or initiating a potential collaboration, we kindly request that you contact Professor New at elizabeth.new@sydney.edu.au.
The Jolliffe Group
Kate Jolliffe is an internationally-recognized leader in supramolecular and organic chemistry, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Australian Academy of Science, NSW Node leader of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Innovations in Peptide and Protein Science (CIPPS), and recipient of many awards for research excellence. Kate has a strong track-record of collaboration.
Please contact kate.jolliffe@sydney.edu.au for enquiries regarding access to existing probes, or for potential collaborations (including probe development for any anionic species of interest).
