The Centre will create a multidisciplinary research team focusing on the molecular mechanisms that drive the specification and differentiation of male germ cells. This research will improve our fundamental understanding of how complex regulatory networks control the expression of a complex phenotype, the spermatozoon. It will also create a platform of knowledge from which we can stimulate the growth of the Australian Biotechnology industry, the protection of the Australian Environment and the well-being of the Australian people. Key issues for this Centre include testicular cancer, male infertility, contraception, pest animal control, environmental impacts on human health and gene pharming.

该中心将建立一个多学科研究小组，重点研究驱动雄性生殖细胞特化和分化的分子机制。这项研究将提高我们对复杂的调控网络如何控制复杂表型精子表达的基本理解。它还将创造一个知识平台，我们可以从中刺激澳大利亚生物技术产业的发展，保护澳大利亚环境和澳大利亚人民的福祉。该中心的主要问题包括睾丸癌、男性不育症、避孕、虫害动物控制、环境对人类健康的影响和基因药物治疗。
