Harnessing the 'omics revolution to investigate drug response and resistance mechanisms in Giardia duodenalis. This international research project will harness cutting-edge technologies to explore how Giardia, a major global cause of diarrhoeal illness in humans, responds to and becomes resistant to key anti-giardial drugs, providing valuable information for drug preservation and development.

Summary
Collaborative high bio-containment immunological research facility. Emerging infectious diseases are a serious threat to animals and humans, with most new human infections originating in animals. Our capacity to study these infections and their effects on the immune system is limited. This Facility will provide core equipment for analysis of immune responses to infection at the highest levels of bio-containment.
