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.

Innovative Approaches for Defining the Interaction of Insulin like Growth Factor I (IGF I) with the Type 1 IGF Receptor. This study will improve our understanding of the interactions of Insulin-like Growth Factors (IGFs) with their principal receptor, the IGF-1R. A sound understanding of these interactions is essential for the development of non-peptide IGF antagonists designed for therapeutic applications. Such molecules could lead to new therapeutic approaches for diseases in which dysregul ....Innovative Approaches for Defining the Interaction of Insulin like Growth Factor I (IGF I) with the Type 1 IGF Receptor. This study will improve our understanding of the interactions of Insulin-like Growth Factors (IGFs) with their principal receptor, the IGF-1R. A sound understanding of these interactions is essential for the development of non-peptide IGF antagonists designed for therapeutic applications. Such molecules could lead to new therapeutic approaches for diseases in which dysregulation of the IGF system has been implicated including cancer, diabetes and atherosclerosis.
Since IGFs are major determinants of growth, the outcomes of this project could also lead to improvements in animal production with major benefit to primary industry. New IGF analogues developed could assist biotechnology exports.

Molecular dynamics of steroid receptor crosstalk. This project uses state-of-the-art technology to show how steroids (for example, testosterone) affect many aspects of human life, and how these can be disrupted by chemicals and synthetic hormones. The results can be used to interpret disease, predict safety of new drugs, and to monitor risk to humans and wildlife of environmental chemicals.
