The Role of Amyloid Protein Precursor in Mammalian Copper Transport

从这项调查中获得的知识将帮助我们开发新的药物来治疗衰弱和越来越普遍的与年龄有关的神经退行性疾病，并将帮助我们阐明金属在衰老过程中的作用。除了明显的经济和社会效益，延长了市民的生产寿命，这个项目的成果有明确的商业应用。我们预计，该计划将产生专利，这些专利将被授权给澳大利亚利益集团，并为生物技术和制药部门的国家收入做出贡献。

The knowledge gained from this investigation will help us to develop new medicines for the treatment of debilitating and ever more prevalent age-related neurodegenerative diseases and will help us to illuminate the role of metals in the ageing process itself. Apart from the obvious economic and social benefits in extending the productive lifetime of its citizens, the outcomes of this project have clear commercial applications. We anticipate that there will be patents that will ensue from the programme, which will be licensed to Australian interests, and contribute to the national revenue in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sector.
