ARC/NHMRC Research Network for Parasitology. The ARC Network for Parasitology will focus and coordinate Australia's world class fundamental, strategic and applied parasitology research. This targeted approach will raise Australia's standing in the field, assist in the community's understanding of parasitology and biosecurity and maintain and improve Australia's capacity for keeping its stock, crops, wildlife and people disease-free.

The ARC Network for Parasitology will focus and coordinate Australia's world class fundamental, strategic and applied parasitology research. This targeted approach will raise Australia's standing in the field, assist in the community's understanding of parasitology and biosecurity and maintain and improve Australia's capacity for keeping its stock, crops, wildlife and people disease-free. On an international scale, the Network will work with other countries to develop new technologies for the detection and eradication of parasites. This emphasis will not only protect Australia's borders but will assist our near neighbours and lead to the development of technologies with an economic benefit to Australia.

Summary
Rapid Molecular (Bio)material Imaging by Infrared and Raman Microscopies. This project aims to undertake fast probe-free biochemical/chemical imaging of heterogeneity within cells and materials surfaces with new infrared and Raman imaging. It will generate new fundamental knowledge on: cell heterogeneity and dynamic processes; technologies for optimising cell printing; understanding toxicity of microplastics; and protocols for measuring materials of technological relevance. Expected outcomes inc ....Rapid Molecular (Bio)material Imaging by Infrared and Raman Microscopies. This project aims to undertake fast probe-free biochemical/chemical imaging of heterogeneity within cells and materials surfaces with new infrared and Raman imaging. It will generate new fundamental knowledge on: cell heterogeneity and dynamic processes; technologies for optimising cell printing; understanding toxicity of microplastics; and protocols for measuring materials of technological relevance. Expected outcomes include: interdisciplinary collaborations in new protocols for in-vitro drug development; cell printing technologies; environmental impacts of microplastics; and materials design. Expected benefits include innovative approaches to early stage drug design; improved environmental controls and advances in innovative materials.Read moreRead less
