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.

Isoform Selective PI3 Kinase Inhibitors For Cancer, Thrombosis And Inflammatory Disease
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$474,473.00
Summary
Inhibitors of the PI3 kinase family of enzymes have potential as therapeutics in diseases such as cancer, thrombosis and inflammatory disease. In this project the investigators will develop a new class of PI3 kinase inhibitors they have discovered, optimizing their pharmaceutical properties and evaluating them in models of disease. The aim is to develop a candidate for human clinical studies.
TBK1 Inhibitors As Novel Therapeutics For Rheumatoid Arthritis
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$511,722.00
Summary
A key feature of rheumatoid arthritis is inflammation in affected joints causing pain and immobility. New drugs that selectively block processes that are dysregulated in rheumatoid arthritis are needed to better treat this disease. The protein called TBK1 is a key regulator of inflammation and we aim to develop drugs that inhibit TBK1 activity thereby blocking the inflammation and symptoms associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
Novel NLRP3 Inhibitors For Steroid Resistant Asthma
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$927,117.00
Summary
Asthma causes 40,000 hospitalisations p.a. with 5-10% of asthmatics having severe steroid resistant asthma, a common and debilitating disease, where current treatments do not work. Effective therapies are urgently required. Based on our research, we have novel molecules showing high level of efficacy in models of severe steroid resistant asthma. These molecules will be further investigated to deliver a drug candidate for commercialisation within 3 years.
