Dendritic Organic Semiconductors. This Federation Fellowship, along with the creation of a Centre for Organic Semiconductor Research at The University of Queensland will enable Australian science to have a high profile in organic semiconductors. This is an important scientific and technological goal and the research programme will provide expertise for industry in Australia as well as potentially creating technologies for new industry. It will also provide a focus for other academic institutions ....Dendritic Organic Semiconductors. This Federation Fellowship, along with the creation of a Centre for Organic Semiconductor Research at The University of Queensland will enable Australian science to have a high profile in organic semiconductors. This is an important scientific and technological goal and the research programme will provide expertise for industry in Australia as well as potentially creating technologies for new industry. It will also provide a focus for other academic institutions in Australia by bringing together people with the requisite expertise in materials preparation, characterisation, modelling, photophysics, and device physics and engineering.

New approaches to functional and structural genomics. Genome sequencing has revealed complete sets of macromolecules that make up our cells. We now need to learn how these macromolecules work together in a coordinated fashion. The proposed research will lead to the discovery of new biological molecules, interactions and processes essential for the function of cells, identify new therapeutic targets and strategies to combat disease, identify new concepts in bio- and nanotechnology, and train new ....New approaches to functional and structural genomics. Genome sequencing has revealed complete sets of macromolecules that make up our cells. We now need to learn how these macromolecules work together in a coordinated fashion. The proposed research will lead to the discovery of new biological molecules, interactions and processes essential for the function of cells, identify new therapeutic targets and strategies to combat disease, identify new concepts in bio- and nanotechnology, and train new interdisciplinary researchers. It will underpin the National Research Priorities (Frontier Technologies for Building and Transforming Australian Industries, and Promoting and Maintaining Good Health) and help Australia capitalise on a plethora of opportunities for future economic and health benefits.Read moreRead less
