The proposed facility will significantly enhance the capabilities of the collaborating Universities, provide excellent framework to support both fundamental and applied research, promote research activities to form commercial linkages and partnership with national/international players in a wide range of disciplines. It will bring direct benefit to many organizations through providing services for scientific development, create graduates of high quality, increased capacity for contract research and direct application of research results. The project falls within the state government's key targets of 10 Years Vision for science, technology and innovation (STI 10) towards the formation of highly equipped research precincts.

Nucleotides for bioelectronics. Bioelectronics is a key component of nanobiotechnology, a new field that merges the science of biological molecules (DNA, proteins etc.) with electronics and semiconductor physics. We have recently introduced redox-labelled nucleotides that enable the production of electrochemically-active DNA and RNA for genetic, forensic and nanotechnology applications. This project further develops redox nucleotides for use in electronic devices.
