Amino acid transporters and the chloroquine resistance transporter of the intracellular malaria parasite

这项工作需要三个具有高度互补性的专业知识和经验的独立研究小组之间的持续合作。它将为保持澳大利亚的科学能力和培训机会做出重大贡献。该项目将对一种主要人类疾病的病原体的生物学以及疟疾寄生虫对抗疟疾药物产生抗药性的机制产生重要的见解。虽然疟疾尚未在澳大利亚流行，但疟疾在当地是一个严重的问题，这项工作将帮助澳大利亚履行其义务，开展高质量的研究，促进我们在这一领域的知识。

This work entails an ongoing collaboration between three independent research groups with highly complementary expertise and experience. It will make a significant contribution to the maintenance of Australia's scientific capabilities and training opportunities. The project will yield important insights into the biology of the causative agent of a major human disease, and the mechanism by which the malaria parasite has developed resistance to antimalarial drugs. Although not yet endemic in Australia, malaria is a serious problem in the local region and this work will help Australia meet its obligations to carry out high-quality research that advances our knowledge in this area.
