点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Tasmania has immediate need for contemporary flow cytometry infrastructure to maintain world-class research for local and global benefit. This project aims to establish next generation, single cell sorting capability to study the impact of ageing and environmental stressors on human, animal and plant biology. Outcomes of this project include: 1) multi-disciplinary expansion across the areas of neuroscience, ecology, evolutionary biology, oceanography, epi/genomics and immunology, 2) ability to develop innovative assays and vaccines, and 3) increase the scale of national and international collaborations. This project will provide direct benefit through our contribution of new knowledge, commercial uptake and impact on policy.
