Biography
Bayden is the Director for the Centre of Biospectosocpy and works in the School of Chemistry at Monash University.
Bayden's research areas of interest are: A chemical change must precede or accompany any morphological or symptomatic manifestation associated with disease progression, environmental perturbation or therapeutic treatment.
Vibrational spectroscopy is sensitive to detecting chemical changes and in combination with artificial intelligent systems represents a fundamental new approach to analysing single molecules, subcellular structures, cells, tissues, entire organisms and ultimately ecological systems.
My research is aimed at transforming state-of-the-art infrared-based technology to a new point-of-care diagnostic capability for real world medical devices that can instantaneously diagnose several major debilitating diseases, at a fraction of current costs and with unprecedented levels of sensitivity and speed. The objective is to empower both minimally trained community workers from remote villages in developing counties to first world general medical practitioners, with the ability to immediately diagnose and treat a range of infectious diseases. Delivery of this new disruptive technology will transform diagnosis enabling improved treatment and better patient management and has applications in blood storage, biosecurity, pharmaceutical monitoring and defense. My other areas of interest include FT-IR microspectroscopy and FT-IR imaging of cells and tissues and developing applications for cancer diagnosis, histocompatibility testing, oocyte development, stem cell research and algae research. I also have a strong interest in applying multivariate statistics and neural network architectures to the analysis of FT-IR and Raman spectra of bio-samples with the aim of developing new diagnostic algorithms.
