Summary
Mathematical Biosciences Network. The network's aim is to stimulate the transfer of ideas, scientific insights, models and computational methods across the interface of mathematics and biology. Collaborative effort and training will occur to push forward the frontiers of biology and mathematics related to the fundamental problems of life, including how embryos develop, how diseases can be controlled, and how to describe and predict intra- and inter-cellular processes.

The network's aim is to stimulate the transfer of ideas, scientific insights, models and computational methods across the interface of mathematics and biology. Collaborative effort and training will occur to push forward the frontiers of biology and mathematics related to the fundamental problems of life, including how embryos develop, how diseases can be controlled, and how to describe and predict intra- and inter-cellular processes. A major theme of the network is the transfer of information through an e-science grid allowing direct access to experimental data and model simulations.Read moreRead less

Summary
Australian Initiative for Malaria (AIM). Malaria is a major global health problem with 500 million people infected and 2-3 million deaths per year. Australia has an extraordinary capacity in malaria research publishing more papers per capita than any other country. The Australian Initiative for Malaria will weld this critical mass into a stronger and more cohesive unit better able to capitalise on new developments in malaria research and will allow us to tackle the enormous problem malaria pre ....Australian Initiative for Malaria (AIM). Malaria is a major global health problem with 500 million people infected and 2-3 million deaths per year. Australia has an extraordinary capacity in malaria research publishing more papers per capita than any other country. The Australian Initiative for Malaria will weld this critical mass into a stronger and more cohesive unit better able to capitalise on new developments in malaria research and will allow us to tackle the enormous problem malaria presents to our region. We will integrate our research expertise with regional laboratories in PNG, E Timor, Solomon Is, Indonesia and Thailand.Read moreRead less

The ARC Research Network for Parasitology aims to bring together Australia's finest researchers and establish a world class environment and web of facilities that attracts and retains the most talented young investigators and places Australia in a strong position to deal with current and future parasitological threats. The Network will focus and enhance Australia's fundamental, strategic and applied parasitology research capabilities to :
(1) develop new approaches to vaccination;
(2) identify novel drug targets; and
(3) ensure the sustainability of wildlife and ecosystem health.

Summary
E-Services for Comparative Studies in Molecular Biology. The central challenge of post-genomic biology is to exploit the range of sequence and microarray data to yield greater understanding of biological processes. Large comparative studies are hamstrung by the inaccessibility of specialist comparative tools and the problem of managing large-scale disparate data. This project will provide portal and web services facilities to remove these obstacles, relying on robust and scalable business techno ....E-Services for Comparative Studies in Molecular Biology. The central challenge of post-genomic biology is to exploit the range of sequence and microarray data to yield greater understanding of biological processes. Large comparative studies are hamstrung by the inaccessibility of specialist comparative tools and the problem of managing large-scale disparate data. This project will provide portal and web services facilities to remove these obstacles, relying on robust and scalable business technologies to be made freely available. Our work will be driven by specific applications in bacterial genomics and cancer research, and will support research into prostate cancer and the pathogens Chlamydia and Bacillus anthracis.Read moreRead less

Summary
Network on eRAM: Environmental Risk Assessment and Management. The proposed network seeks to provide an understanding of the relationship between environmental agents/factors and public health. It provides Australia's first, unified effort to undertand the processes involved at a whole-of-environment level. By virtue of its operation, the network will co-ordinate and expand upon the largely scattered and matrix-specific research in this field that currently takes place. It will permit evaluat ....Network on eRAM: Environmental Risk Assessment and Management. The proposed network seeks to provide an understanding of the relationship between environmental agents/factors and public health. It provides Australia's first, unified effort to undertand the processes involved at a whole-of-environment level. By virtue of its operation, the network will co-ordinate and expand upon the largely scattered and matrix-specific research in this field that currently takes place. It will permit evaluation of environmental agents/factors, as they relate to public health under prevailing environmental conditions. Thus, the major outcome of the network will be effective risk assessment of the expected real-time effects of environmental agents/factors on public health.Read moreRead less
