Summary
The Australian Tissue Engineering Network. Driven by four key nodes across the country, the Initiative aims to bring together geographically and financially separated groups into a critical mass of cell and tissue engineering research. This new and rapidly-growing field uses a bio-synthetic approach to replace, repair or regenerate damaged tissues and organs. The Initiative will build the framework which will enable the Network to: identify appropriate expertise, manage duplication, enhance co ....The Australian Tissue Engineering Network. Driven by four key nodes across the country, the Initiative aims to bring together geographically and financially separated groups into a critical mass of cell and tissue engineering research. This new and rapidly-growing field uses a bio-synthetic approach to replace, repair or regenerate damaged tissues and organs. The Initiative will build the framework which will enable the Network to: identify appropriate expertise, manage duplication, enhance communication, bring together innovative skill sets, create linkages, generate focussed research programs and foster novel commercial opportunities. Ultimately the Initiative and Network will deliver an improved quality of life, reduced healthcare costs, and increased productivity to Australia.Read moreRead less

Summary
A Glycobiology Facility for Glycoconjugate Analysis and Oligosaccharide Sequencing. The carbohydrate moiety of glycoconjugates plays an important role in their function and metabolism. Advances in glycan analytical and oligosaccharide sequencing techniques offer tremendous potential for the application of glycobiology to biotechnology, cell biology and medicine. This application aims to establish a Glycobiology Facility dedicated to glycoconjugate analysis and oligosaccharide sequencing. Funds a ....A Glycobiology Facility for Glycoconjugate Analysis and Oligosaccharide Sequencing. The carbohydrate moiety of glycoconjugates plays an important role in their function and metabolism. Advances in glycan analytical and oligosaccharide sequencing techniques offer tremendous potential for the application of glycobiology to biotechnology, cell biology and medicine. This application aims to establish a Glycobiology Facility dedicated to glycoconjugate analysis and oligosaccharide sequencing. Funds are requested for state of the art HPLC equipment, associated equipment and reagents for glycan purification/labelling, and a staff member, that are all essential to establish this technology in Australia. The Facility will support $25 million of existing research; approximately half of which is derived from ARC.Read moreRead less
