The fate of single virus particles during infection. This project applies innovative imaging techniques to elucidate the logistics of cellular function. Establishing a cutting-edge technology platform will spawn discovery and research creativity in fundamental science, as well as applications in biomedical and biotechnology research disciplines. We will foster a highly skilled workforce, an essential asset for maintaining and enhancing Australia's reputation and capability as a leader in researc ....The fate of single virus particles during infection.

Regulation of MHC-I and ICAM-1 by flavivirus, West Nile. This project investigates the intracellular signalling pathway responsible for the expression of genes which are critical to our immune response. We have demonstrated in a mouse model that high levels of expression of two of these genes in flavivirus encephalitis are associated with a survival advantage. We would expect this project to provide basic new information about the mechanisms of expression of these genes as well as information ab ....Regulation of MHC-I and ICAM-1 by flavivirus, West Nile.

We have demonstrated in a mouse model that high levels of expression of two of these genes in flavivirus encephalitis are associated with a survival advantage. We would expect this project to provide basic new information about the mechanisms of expression of these genes as well as information about the interaction of this family of viruses, flavivirus with the host.Read moreRead less
