This project will strengthen Australia's research capabilities in the areas of molecular neurobiology and neurogenetics. The project will equip students with the intellectual and technical skills needed to work in priority areas such as genomics and biotechnology, as well as in medical and agricultural research, and education. The research has possible long term applications in modifying the behaviour of insects of agricultural or medical importance. For example, by inhibiting the ability of insects to perceive specific odours it may ultimately be possible to prevent insects that carry disease from identifying target animals, or plant pests from locating their host plants.

该项目将加强澳大利亚在分子神经生物学和神经遗传学领域的研究能力。该项目将使学生具备在基因组学和生物技术以及医学和农业研究和教育等优先领域工作所需的知识和技术技能。这项研究有可能长期应用于改变农业或医学重要性昆虫的行为。例如，通过抑制昆虫感知特定气味的能力，最终可能防止携带疾病的昆虫识别目标动物，或植物害虫定位其宿主植物。
