Atmospheric Free-Radicals: Exploring the Role of Nitrate Radicals in the Oxidative Damage of Bio-Surfaces

该项目属于ARC确定的国家研究重点2（促进和保持良好健康），特别是优先目标2（健康老龄化，富有成效地老龄化）和优先目标3（预防性保健）。这项研究将有助于更好地了解影响各个年龄段澳大利亚人健康和福利的环境因素，并将为学生提供接受尖端基础研究培训的独特机会。对大气自由基氧化剂造成的生物表面损伤及其在衰老过程中的潜在作用的知识和基本理解将有助于制定新的医疗策略，这将大大提高澳大利亚科学的质量。

This project falls within the National Research Priority 2 (Promoting and Maintaining Good Health) as identified by the ARC, specifically Priority Goal 2 (Ageing well, ageing productively) and Priority Goal 3 (Preventive healthcare). The study will lead to a better understanding of environmental factors influencing health and welfare of Australians every age and will provide unique opportunities for students to be trained in cutting-edge basic research. Knowledge and fundamental understanding of the damage of bio-surfaces caused by atmospheric free-radical oxidants and their potential role in ageing processes will help to develop novel medical strategies, which substantially contribute to the quality of Australian sciences.
