This will enhance the growth of Australia's pharmaceutical research and development, and benefit the Australian pharmaceutical industry. The outcome will also contribute to improvements in the health and well-being of Australians. The research falls within the Designated National Research Priority of Frontier Technologies for Building and Transforming Australian Industries.Read moreRead less
Modulation of protein folding pathways: a new platform technology for molecular medicine. Misfolding of proteins is becoming recognised as a major cause of inherited disease. We propose to develop a chemical agent that will optimise the folding of alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT), misfolding of which gives rise to inheritable liver and lung disease. This agent will have potential application as a therapy for sufferers of AAT-misfolding disease and for improving the yield of AAT purified from human plasm ....Modulation of protein folding pathways: a new platform technology for molecular medicine.
