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.

Understanding The Role Of Three-dimensional Genome Organisation In B Cell Lineage Commitment And Leukaemia.

Summary
Every one of your nuclei contain 2 metres of DNA. This DNA is 300,000 times longer than the nucleus itself. In order to fit into this space, while maintaining access to crucial genes, the DNA forms a fantastically ordered three-dimensional structure. This intricate organisation is crucial to health, with even minute changes driving diseases, such as cancer and heart disease. We propose using new technology to understand how this organisation changes during immune cell development and leukaemia.
Examining The Importance Of DNA Damage Repair For Oocyte Quality, Female Fertility And Offspring Health
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$318,768.00
Summary
As women age, the quality of their eggs decline and their chance of having a healthy baby plummets. The accumulation of DNA damage within the egg, and the reduced ability to repair this damage, may be one cause of compromised reproductive success in older women. This project will investigate the ability of eggs to repair DNA damage during maternal aging and will explore the importance of DNA repair to fertility and the transmission of high quality genetic material to their offspring.
