ARC/NHMRC Research Network Fluorescence Applications in Biotechnology and Life Sciences

该网络将把澳大利亚的研究集中在荧光在生物系统的新应用方面，以解决健康诊断、生物技术和环境方面的重大问题。该网络确定的科学目标，如高选择性荧光标记和专门设计的荧光染料，将伴随着专门仪器的开发。这些研究方向所追求的强大的跨学科团队生物学，化学，物理学，生物工程和医学将受益于网络计划的支持。通过其对学术界与产业界合作的重视，该网络还将促进基础科学发现转化为商业成果。

This Network will concentrate Australian research in new applications of fluorescence to biological systems to solve significant problems in health diagnostics, biotechnology and the environment. The scientific goals identified by the Network such as highly selective fluorescent labelling and purpose-engineered fluorochromes will be accompanied by the development of specialised instrumentation. These research directions pursued by strong multi-disciplinary teams spanning biology, chemistry, physics, bioengineering and medicine will benefit from the support of the Network programs. Through its focus on academic - industry collaboration the Network will also facilitate development of basic scientific discoveries into commercial outcomes.
