Summary
Enhanced Capacity in Ultra-Trace Level Detection and Speciation of Compounds of Environmental, Biological and Materials Science Interest. The proposed integrated facility will strongly support collaborative research in areas of high national priority. These are environmental sustainability, development of new materials and designing molecules of therapeutic value on the basis of better understanding the relevant biological processes. This support will lead to maximizing the outcomes of numerous ....Enhanced Capacity in Ultra-Trace Level Detection and Speciation of Compounds of Environmental, Biological and Materials Science Interest. The proposed integrated facility will strongly support collaborative research in areas of high national priority. These are environmental sustainability, development of new materials and designing molecules of therapeutic value on the basis of better understanding the relevant biological processes. This support will lead to maximizing the outcomes of numerous projects already funded by the Australian Research Council which require accurate and highly sensitive analysis. This will improve the cost effectiveness of research funding and will further strengthen the outstanding reputation of Australia science worldwide.Read moreRead less
Mimetics and small chemical compounds for hemopoietic stem cell mobilisation. This project will result in the design and synthesis of new chemical compounds that could be used clinically to help collect blood stem cells for bone marrow transplantation. For patients this will mean more effective and less painful ways to collect stem cells and better transplant outcomes. There is a large, ongoing international market for this type of drug and likelihood of significant financial benefit.
