Biomolecular discovery and analysis facility

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This facility will provide Australian researchers with unrivalled access to advanced cell visualisation and analysis tools, which until very recently were only available to the pharmaceutical industry and large US and European institutions. The facility will allow new approaches to identifying novel natural products and understanding cell signalling pathways. Knowledge of these pathways and the identification of molecules that can affect them are keys to understanding normal cellular physiology and identifying drug-like molecules able to inhibit malfunctioning pathways found in different disease such as cancer. The facility will accellerate drug discovery and basic research in cell biology and underpin National Research Priorities.
