This proposal will introduce sophisticated imaging technology into our cutting-edge research program. Our approach will permit high resolution imaging of the immune response within an intact animal; currently not possible in Australia at the present time. The unique combination of technology and biological resources will significantly advance knowledge in key areas of basic immunology research. It will provide local researchers insights into how the body responds to infectious disease and immune-related disorders and be directly applicable to vaccine design. The facility and related research program will undoubtedly attract a team of top-level national and international scientists and students keen to work with this advanced technology.

这项提案将把先进的成像技术引入我们的尖端研究计划。我们的方法将允许高分辨率成像的免疫反应在一个完整的动物;目前不可能在澳大利亚在目前的时间。 技术与生物资源的独特结合将显着推进基础免疫学研究关键领域的知识。 它将为当地研究人员提供有关身体如何应对传染病和免疫相关疾病的见解，并直接适用于疫苗设计。 该设施和相关的研究计划无疑将吸引一批顶尖的国内和国际科学家和热衷于使用这项先进技术的学生。
