New peptides to probe protein kinase functions

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

We are building on our expertise in biochemistry, molecular biology and biotechnology, to develop and exploit new technologies that enable the discovery and characterisation of new peptides that probe protein kinase functions. An important application of work will be in the development of new leads for drug design, as highlighted by the success of some protein kinase inhibitors as drugs. The immediate benefits of our research will come with enhanced interactions in the international academic and biotechnology arenas and with the training of post-graduate and post-doctoral staff. This research training will greatly enrich Australian biotechnology expertise.
