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.

Research Fellowship: Immunoregulation And Immunity To Viral Infection
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$763,845.00
Summary
Award of this fellowship will ensure the continuation of a highly productive research program that over the last 15 years has made numerous seminal contributions to understanding the immune responses generated during viral infection. This multidisciplinary, highly collaborative program seeks to use this knowledge to develop effective therapies, both cellular and gene therapy-based, to treat viral infections and their complications by harnessing the immune system.
Effective Therapies To Treat Viral Infections And Their Complications In Transplantation
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$1,100,450.00
Summary
Viral infections are a common life threatening complication in transplant recipients, for which there are limited treatment options. We have developed several pre-clinical models that we are using to determine how the treatment of viral infections that occur after transplantation can be improved.
An investigation into the basis of the T-cell mediated adaptive immune response. Understanding the adaptive immune response to human pathogens is critically important to develop strategies to combat infection. This project will provide a better understanding of how T cells combat viral infection, and will lead to fundamental advances in our understanding of viral immunity and the development of novel immunotherapeutic strategies.
