Multiplexed Molecular Reading of Protein Associations via Nanoscaled Devices

纳米科学和纳米技术目前的发展在彻底改变我们的工业基础、改变生物学、医学科学和实践方面有着许多希望。该项目旨在通过首次构建和测试具有快速读取能力的纳米级设备来实现其中的一些目标。关于复杂蛋白质关联的信息。随着最近人类基因组计划的完成，只要能够开发出适当的高通量生物读取设备，就有很大的机会在人类保健方面取得惊人的进展（例如，通过新的诊断方法）。在开发此类设备的过程中，该项目还旨在促进澳大利亚纳米技术/生物技术产业的发展。

Current developments in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology hold many promises in terms of revolutionising our industrial base, transforming biology, medical science and practice. This project strives to achieve some of these goals by, for the first time, building and testing nano-scaled devices with the capability to rapidly ?read? information about complex protein associations. With the recent completion of the Human Genome project, major opportunities exist to provide spectacular advances in human health care (eg, via novel diagnostics) provided that appropriate high-throughput biological reading devices can be developed. In developing such devices, this project also aims to catalyse the Australian Nanotechnology/Biotechnology industry.
