Biological phosphorous removal for wastewater treatment. The aim is to provide a scientific basis for understanding how phosphorous can be removed in wastewater treatment plants, using environmentally safe biological methods rather than by using chemicals. This is expected to lead to improved performance in wastewater treatment plants, which will be of economic and environmental benefit, particularly to regional communities in inland Australia.

Summary
GC/MS facility for medical, bioanalytical and environmental research. The research will contribute to the bioremediation of heavily polluted sites in Sydney and the knowledge gained and the technology developed will be applicable to sites all over the world. Fundamental knowledge in Systems Biology will have applications to advance Australian export industries based on fermentation. Advances in chemical ecology and biotechnology will impact in areas such as contact lenses, implants, therapeutics ....GC/MS facility for medical, bioanalytical and environmental research. The research will contribute to the bioremediation of heavily polluted sites in Sydney and the knowledge gained and the technology developed will be applicable to sites all over the world. Fundamental knowledge in Systems Biology will have applications to advance Australian export industries based on fermentation. Advances in chemical ecology and biotechnology will impact in areas such as contact lenses, implants, therapeutics and water treatment. Probing pituitary hormone action will lead to greater understanding of health issues such as abnormal body composition, obesity and diabetes.Read moreRead less
