Funded Activity Summary

Design and discovery of novel conotoxins that target ion channels and receptors. The national benefits that may arise include (i) new knowledge of biologically active peptides and their mode of action that will be protected through patent applications and provide a competitive edge for Australian biotechnology (ii) the training of a new generation of skilled researchers in chemical and structural biology that will sustain the biotechnology industry (iii) economic benefits from licensing and royalty returns on drug leads that may arise from this program (iv) environmental benefits from the development of more sensitive analytical methods that obviate over collection of endangered species and (v) social benefits from a reduction in suffering from diseases for which drugs are developed as a result of this program.
