Rate My Professor Simon Corrie

Associate Professor Simon Corrie holds a position in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering at Monash University. He earned his undergraduate degree in chemical engineering and a PhD in physical chemistry from the University of Queensland. His postdoctoral research was conducted at the HPV Research Laboratory, University of Washington, Seattle, USA. Subsequently, he was awarded an ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) Fellowship in Professor Mark Kendall's group at the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, University of Queensland. Corrie joined Monash University as a Senior Lecturer in February 2016, advancing to Associate Professor. He serves as a Chief Investigator in the ARC Centre of Excellence in Convergent Bio-Nano Science and Technology (CBNS) and has been a member of the Research Strategy Working Group at the Monash Centre to Impact Antimicrobials Resistance (AMR) since 2020.

Corrie's research centers on the development of nanoparticles and biomaterials for biosensing, bioassays, and biocatalysis applications. Leading the Nanosensor Engineering Lab, his team designs, synthesizes, and tests nanoparticle scaffolds, polymers, and biomolecules—including peptides, proteins, and antibodies—to enable real-time detection of disease biomarkers in biological environments. This interdisciplinary work spans materials science, chemistry, molecular biology, and incorporates AI methods, facilitating collaborations for preclinical testing and translation toward clinical trials. His contributions align with UN Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being. Notable publications include "Nanoparticle-Based Medicines: A Review of FDA-Approved Materials and Clinical Trials to Date" (Drug Delivery and Translational Research, 2016), "Recombinant Antibody Engineering Enables Reversible Binding for Targeted Delivery of Drugs" (ACS Sensors, 2021), "Modified Organosilica Core-Shell Nanoparticles for Stable pH-Responsive Molecular Sensors" (ACS Sensors, 2018), "Nanotherapeutics in Kidney Disease: Innovations, Challenges, and Future Directions" (Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2025), and "Automated analysis of pore structures in biomaterials" (Journal of Materials Chemistry B, 2025). With over 6,200 citations and an h-index of 28 (Google Scholar), Corrie's work has significant impact in nanobiosensors and diagnostics.
