Description

Integrated Crystallisation Facility. This project will provide Western Australia with cutting-edge crystallisation facilities for determination of the structures of biological and chemical materials, increasing throughput and miniaturising experiments to obtain more structures more rapidly. The project will generate new knowledge in the areas of structure-based drug and herbicide design, synthetic biology, and materials science. Expected outcomes include new therapeutic routes, candidate pharmaceuticals for global diseases, smart and safe herbicides to increase food production, and new gas storage materials. In addition to these tangible outputs, the facility will facilitate collaboration within Western Australia, Australia and globally, with academic and industry partners.. Scheme: Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities. Field: 3101 - Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Lead: Prof Charles Bond
