Biography
Altin Group - Tumour immunology and liposome targeting
Joe Altin received his BSc followed by a Grad Dip Sci in 1985 (ANU), and his PhD (ANU) in 1988. From 1988-1990 he held a post-doctoral position at the University of California, Irvine, USA. He then returned to Australia to take up a Research Fellowship position at the JCSMR (ANU). In 1997, he established his research laboratory in the then Division of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the ANU Faculty of Science, after being awarded NHMRC and commercial funding. A major focus of his research has been to develop patented technology to facilitate the use of stealth liposomes, as targeted nanoparticles or delivery vehicles for antigens, drugs and nucleic acids, for the development of novel effective liposomal vaccines and cancer immunotherapies.
