Funded Activity Summary

Characterization of metabolic networks in a microbial pathogen. New methods are needed to understand complex cellular processes such as metabolism. This proposal will support the development of methods in metabolite profiling and flux analysis that provide a global view of metabolic networks in cells and complement other profiling approaches, such as proteomics and transcriptomics. The development of these approaches (collectively termed Systems Biology) is essential for maintaining Australia science at the forefront of international efforts (National Research Priority 3; Breakthrough science). This project will also directly contribute to our understanding of metabolism of an important human pathogen and provide training to young Australian scientists.
