Funded Activity Summary

Insertion and assembly of proteins and lipids into biological membranes. We propose a multi-disciplinary approach to this fundamental biological problem and have established collaborations with experts in the USA, UK and Austria. Benefits from this research program fall into two discrete types. Firstly, detailed knowledge of the mechanism what is now a poorly understood biological process of cellular membrane assembly, with the prospects for using the knowledge for intervention into diseases such as cancer. Secondly, excellent outcomes are provided for the training of postgraduate students and research staff. This project entails cutting edge technology, and the development of skills not common in Australia.
