Re-engineering the genetic code

大型、高质量的新药库是寻找新药的绝对必要资源。然而，它们的使用仅限于少数制药巨头。我们将工程细胞，使各种各样的药物样聚合物，提供药物发现资源访问几乎任何科学实验室。由于每个细胞可以制造不同的聚合物，因此可以在单个试管中生产数十亿种不同的潜在药物。这项技术提供了一个机会，将药物发现的未来掌握在更广泛的科学界手中，并为澳大利亚工业提供了新的工具。

Large, high quality libraries of new drugs are absolutely essential resources to find new medicines. However, their use is restricted to a few pharmaceutical giants. We will engineer cells to make a wide variety of drug-like polymers, providing a drug discovery resource accessible to almost any scientific laboratory. As each cell could make a different polymer, billions of different potential drugs could be produced in a single tube. This technology provides an opportunity to put the future of drug discovery in the hands of the wider scientific community and provides new tools for Australian industries.
