Thesis Title: Improving Diagnostics and Management of Shellfish Allergy: Identifying Putative Allergens in Shellfish and Cross-Reactive Novel Allergens in Edible Insects
Abstract: Doctor Karnaneedi studied allergenic proteins in shellfish and edible insects. He developed a novel protocol that identified the complete repertoire of allergens in shrimps; determined the clinical relevance of shrimp allergens to develop shellfish immunotherapy; and identified unique cross-reactive allergens in edible insects that are clinically significant to people with shellfish allergy.
Advisory Panel: Professor Andreas Lopata, Doctor Sandip Kamath and Doctor Ira Cook
Thesis Title: Patterns and drivers of leaf thermoregulation in rainforest trees of the Australian Wet Tropics
