Probing the Interface Between Polymeric Photonic Materials and Biology

这项申请为A.B.Holmes教授在墨尔本大学(在Bio21研究所倡议范围内)和CSIRO分子科学部之间的合作提供了基础，以制备用于电子应用(笔记本电脑显示器、晶体管和太阳能电池)的新型塑料，并制造专门的大分子，用于研究生物分子识别其他分子从而改变其功能的方式。预计多学科研究合作将在“塑料电子”和人类健康方面带来商业机会，如癌症和传染病的控制。

This application provides a basis for Professor A. B. Holmes to develop a collaboration between the University of Melbourne (within the Bio21 Institute initiative) and CSIRO Division of Molecular Science to prepare novel plastics for electronics applications (lap top displays, transistors and solar cells) and to make specialised macromolecules for studying the way in which biological molecules may be made to recognise other molecules and thus change their function. It is envisaged that the multidisciplinary research collaboration will lead to commercial opportunities in "plastic electronics" and in human health such as the control of cancer and infectious diseases.
