ARC Centre of Excellence in Biotechnology and Development

该中心将建立一个多学科的研究团队，重点研究驱动男性生殖细胞特化和分化的分子机制。这项研究将提高我们对复杂调控网络如何控制复杂表型精子的表达的基本理解。它还将创造一个知识平台，从中我们可以刺激澳大利亚生物技术行业的增长，保护澳大利亚环境和澳大利亚人民的福祉。该中心的主要问题包括睾丸癌、男性不育、避孕、虫害动物控制、环境对人类健康的影响和基因仿制。

The Centre will create a multidisciplinary research team focusing on the molecular mechanisms that drive the specification and differentiation of male germ cells. This research will improve our fundamental understanding of how complex regulatory networks control the expression of a complex phenotype, the spermatozoon. It will also create a platform of knowledge from which we can stimulate the growth of the Australian Biotechnology industry, the protection of the Australian Environment and the well-being of the Australian people. Key issues for this Centre include testicular cancer, male infertility, contraception, pest animal control, environmental impacts on human health and gene pharming.
