The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Marsupial genomics: antimicrobial peptides and endangered species conservation. This project aims to use Australia’s unique biodiversity to tackle the global challenge of antimicrobial resistance. Rapid gene duplication and evolution of antimicrobial peptide genes in marsupials provide protection for joeys that are immunologically naïve in the pouch. By characterising immune genes in 10 marsupial species, this project will yield new antimicrobial peptides that can tackle superbugs.

This project aims to use Australia’s unique biodiversity to tackle the global challenge of antimicrobial resistance. Rapid gene duplication and evolution of antimicrobial peptide genes in marsupials provide protection for joeys that are immunologically naïve in the pouch. By characterising immune genes in 10 marsupial species, this project will yield new antimicrobial peptides that can tackle superbugs. Genomic information will also be used to provide significant benefits, such as improving the long term conservation of our endangered native species in a more appropriate and cost-effective way.Read moreRead less
