This Project aims to understand the formation of the neural tube; a fundamental tissue structure that generates the brain and the spinal cord. Using interdisciplinary approaches and exploiting recent advances in transgenic and imaging technologies, the Project expects to reveal the complex interplay of molecular, cellular and mechanical processes that direct neural tissue formation and cell fate specification. Outcomes from the Project include knowledge of previously intractable developmental processes, training of future scientists and development of international collaborations. This should provide enhanced imaging capacity, a higher quality scientific workforce and position Australia at the forefront of developmental biology.

该项目旨在了解神经管的形成；产生大脑和脊髓的基本组织结构。利用跨学科方法和利用转基因和成像技术的最新进展，该项目希望揭示指导神经组织形成和细胞命运规范的分子、细胞和机械过程的复杂相互作用。该项目的成果包括了解以前难以解决的发展过程、培训未来科学家和国际合作的发展。这将提供增强的成像能力，更高质量的科学工作人员，并使澳大利亚处于发育生物学的前沿。
