Summary
Chemi–biology computational platform for lead discovery in infectious disease. A challenge in fighting infectious disease is in finding new bioactive compounds. This facility will provide a high performance computational environment designed to accelerate the discovery of quality compounds for use in anti-infective medicine.
Harnessing the 'omics revolution to investigate drug response and resistance mechanisms in Giardia duodenalis. This international research project will harness cutting-edge technologies to explore how Giardia, a major global cause of diarrhoeal illness in humans, responds to and becomes resistant to key anti-giardial drugs, providing valuable information for drug preservation and development.
