The problem of pest or disease organisms for humanity is fundamentally a problem of unwanted colonisation. For example, colonisation of the surfaces of human tissues by bacterial biofilms is responsible for up to 70% of bacterial infections; colonisation of the surfaces of boat hulls by marine organisms costs the marine shipping industry > $5 billion per year. This proposal will generate fundamental information on the ability of both bacteria and higher organisms to disperse and colonise surfaces, allowing for the development of novel technologies for the prevention of unwanted colonisation of surfaces.

对人类来说，害虫或疾病生物的问题从根本上说是一个不必要的殖民问题。 例如，细菌生物膜对人体组织表面的定殖是高达70%的细菌感染的原因;海洋生物对船体表面的定殖每年花费海运业> 50亿美元。该提案将产生关于细菌和高等生物分散和定植表面能力的基本信息，从而允许开发用于防止不必要的表面定植的新技术。
