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.

Structural Basis For Targeting Wnt Signalling Pathway In Cancer
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$645,205.00
Summary
Cells sense and respond to a variety of stimuli by activating different signaling pathways. The Wnt pathway is important in embryonic development as it controls cell division and specialization. In adults, dysregulation of this pathway can lead to aberrant cell division and cancer. This proposal will use structural biology to look at several steps of this pathway at the molecular level. This will provide answers on how this pathway works and will lead to new ways to target it therapeutically.
Reprogramming Innate Immunity To Combat Inflammatory And Infectious Diseases
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$1,788,220.00
Summary
Our immune system protects us from infection, but also drives cancer, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases and many other conditions. Innate immunity, a key component of our immune system, mediates the pathology that is associated with these diseases. This research program aims to define innate immune mechanisms that combat infection and/or drive inflammation-mediated diseases. It also aims to deliver novel anti-infective and anti-inflammatory strategies.
Using Protein Structure And Dynamics To Facilitate Drug Discovery
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$1,512,250.00
Summary
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of membrane proteins in the human genome, and drugs targeting these receptors account for 35% of marketed drugs. This project aims to determine atomic-level structural information of how drugs bind and specifically interact with therapeutically relevant GPCRs. Outcomes of this research will facilitate the design of future development of selective and effective drugs.
