Exploring new roles for phosphorus radicals in health, environment, and technology

这个项目将产生几个实际成果。关于导致遗传疾病和癌症的过程的信息将通过研究磷自由基在DNA损伤中的作用而得到。将探索导致自然和合成材料在环境中降解的过程。清洁反应将用于制造先进材料（如药品）。这些创新将扩大澳大利亚在一个不断发展的研究领域的国际形象。该项目还将解决澳大利亚的三个国家研究重点，为自由基化学研究人员的培训做出贡献，并与法国和美国的机构开展研究合作。

Several practical outcomes will arise from this project. Information on processes that contribute to genetic disease and cancer will be derived through studies of the role of phosphorus radicals in DNA damage. Processes that lead to the degradation of natural and synthetic materials in the environment will be explored. Clean reactions will be developed for the fabrication of advanced materials (e.g. pharmaceuticals). These innovations will expand Australia's international profile in a growing research area. The project will also address three of Australia's National Research Priorities, contribute to the training of researchers in Free Radical Chemistry, and initiate research collaborations with institutions in France and the USA.
