2026 ARDC Annual Survey is now open!

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.

Complete the 5 min survey now by clicking on the link below.

    Summary
    Coordinating energy metabolism to enhance exercise capacity. Diet and exercise contribute to health and ageing productively whereas high caloric diets and sedentary life styles are deleterious. The enzyme AMPK regulates energy metabolism in response to diet and exercise and by studying it we expect to learn why diet and exercise are beneficial at the molecular level. This may allow the development of nutritional, exercise and drug strategies to enhance exercise capacity and well being during .... Coordinating energy metabolism to enhance exercise capacity. Diet and exercise contribute to health and ageing productively whereas high caloric diets and sedentary life styles are deleterious. The enzyme AMPK regulates energy metabolism in response to diet and exercise and by studying it we expect to learn why diet and exercise are beneficial at the molecular level. This may allow the development of nutritional, exercise and drug strategies to enhance exercise capacity and well being during ageing as well as suppress age onset diseases that include obesity diabetes cardiovascular disease hypertension and neurodegeneration.

    Summary
    Systems therapeutics for metabolism: AMPK isoform specific drugs. Living cells have to maintain a steady balance between energy production and consumption in order to function properly. A key regulator of energy balance is an enzyme known as 5' AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which regulates the burning and storage of fuels such as fat and sugars, in response to changes in energy demand. This project will provide a major advancement in our understanding of the regulation of AMPK at the mo .... Systems therapeutics for metabolism: AMPK isoform specific drugs. Living cells have to maintain a steady balance between energy production and consumption in order to function properly. A key regulator of energy balance is an enzyme known as 5' AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which regulates the burning and storage of fuels such as fat and sugars, in response to changes in energy demand. This project will provide a major advancement in our understanding of the regulation of AMPK at the molecular level, and lay the foundations for the development of more effective drugs to treat energy balance disorders such as obesity and Type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, this proposal will contribute to enriching Australia's international profile and competitiveness in this important area of research.
