Summary
Purchase of a high resolution organic mass spectrometer. The diverse research supported by the new instrument is expected to encompass a wide range of beneficial outcomes in the areas of health, plant genetics and breeding, horticulture, chemistry and novel analytical technologies. Genetic studies will lead to improved plant crops and are expected to contribute to new treatments for multiple scleroris and diabetes. Investigations in organic and organometallic chemistry will lead to the productio ....Purchase of a high resolution organic mass spectrometer. The diverse research supported by the new instrument is expected to encompass a wide range of beneficial outcomes in the areas of health, plant genetics and breeding, horticulture, chemistry and novel analytical technologies. Genetic studies will lead to improved plant crops and are expected to contribute to new treatments for multiple scleroris and diabetes. Investigations in organic and organometallic chemistry will lead to the production of better materials, more efficient catalysts and novel drugs. This instrument will provide infrastructure essential to enabling researchers to maintain internationally competitive profiles in these areas.Read moreRead less
Developing a chlamydial vaccine for koalas. Developing a chlamydial vaccine for koalas . This project aims to produce an optimised, safe, field-tested, protective Chlamydia vaccine for koalas. In many regions of Australia, Chlamydia infection severely reduces female koala reproductive rates, threatening the species’ long term survival. This project builds on work developing a prototype vaccine for koala Chlamydia, and intends to produce a vaccine ready for potential registration and use by koala ....Developing a chlamydial vaccine for koalas.

Summary
Autonomous benthic observing system. This project seeks to improve our ability to monitor marine habitats and characterise their variability by enhancing the Integrated Marine Observing system (IMOS) Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Facility. The new AUV infrastructure will reduce operating costs, increase robustness of the sampling effort and insure continued operation for the next decade.
