The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Single minded 1 in neuron development and satiety signalling. An understanding of how Single minded 1 (SIM1) regulates target genes may allow new pharmaceutical approaches to be designed to combat obesity. As Sim1 belongs to a family of closely related gene regulatory proteins which function in early development and homeostasis, deciphering the molecular control mechanisms of Sim1 may help understand how the related factors function in processes such as angiogenesis, response to low oxygen stres ....Single minded 1 in neuron development and satiety signalling. An understanding of how Single minded 1 (SIM1) regulates target genes may allow new pharmaceutical approaches to be designed to combat obesity. As Sim1 belongs to a family of closely related gene regulatory proteins which function in early development and homeostasis, deciphering the molecular control mechanisms of Sim1 may help understand how the related factors function in processes such as angiogenesis, response to low oxygen stress, invasion of environmental pollutants and autism spectrum diseases. The ability to manipulate these factors would be of great benefit in treating a range of disorders, but a thorough molecular understanding of these factors needs be obtained prior to attempting design of pharmaceuticals.Read moreRead less
Investigation of the function of Sel S a novel selenoprotein. The long term aim of this project is to find a way to prevent or delay the onset of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. ChemGenex pharmaceuticals, our commercial partners have discovered and patented a selenoprotein with antioxidant properties and have shown in vitro that it protects insulin-producing beta cells from oxidative damage. This project aims to prove, in an in vivo setting, that this protein can prevent or delay the onset of d ....Investigation of the function of Sel S a novel selenoprotein.

ChemGenex pharmaceuticals, our commercial partners have discovered and patented a selenoprotein with antioxidant properties and have shown in vitro that it protects insulin-producing beta cells from oxidative damage. This project aims to prove, in an in vivo setting, that this protein can prevent or delay the onset of diabetes in mouse models of type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.Read moreRead less
