Serious health problems caused by pathogenic microorganisms are in sharp increase due to aging population, escalating numbers of immunocompromised people and the increased resistance of microorganisms to currently available antibiotics. Our research will lead to development of new approaches to protect people and animals from pathogens before they invade the body. The commercial possibilities for new and natural antimicrobials are present from both the health and agricultural sectors in Australia and abroad. The technologies used and further developed will serve as a state-of-the-art training ground for the next generation of postgraduate students encompassing the integration of genomics, proteomics and glycomics technologies.

由于人口老龄化，免疫功能受损的人数不断增加，以及微生物对现有抗生素的抗药性增加，致病微生物造成的严重健康问题急剧增加。我们的研究将导致开发新的方法，在病原体入侵人体之前保护人类和动物免受它们的侵袭。澳大利亚和国外的卫生和农业部门都存在新的天然抗菌剂的商业可能性。所使用和进一步开发的技术将成为下一代研究生的最先进的培训基地，包括基因组学、蛋白质组学和糖组学技术的整合。
