Ultrafast laser techniques are becoming indispensable in many diverse scientific disciplines. Within the Australian scientific community, there is a great need for enhanced access to sophisticated ultrafast laser instrumentation. The expansion to the femtosecond laser facility through the addition of state-of-the-art laser devices, will enable novel laser spectroscopy measurements and advanced optical microscopy techniques to be applied to investigations of advanced materials and biological systems. Access to such instrumentation is crucial to fields including photoluminescent conductive polymers, nanoparticles, engineered supramolecules for artificial photosynthetic systems, and photoactivated therapy and drug delivery/release technology.Read moreRead less

Summary
Facility for Structural Analysis of Bio-Molecular Complexes and Self Assembly. The research will advance our understanding of biological systems and this new knowledge will lead to innovative approaches to healthy living (therapeutics, drugs). We will have a better understanding of genetic diversity in the microbial environment and of biological adaptation that provides a foundation for environmental management as well as opportunities for biotechnology development. Studies of self-assembling ....Facility for Structural Analysis of Bio-Molecular Complexes and Self Assembly. The research will advance our understanding of biological systems and this new knowledge will lead to innovative approaches to healthy living (therapeutics, drugs). We will have a better understanding of genetic diversity in the microbial environment and of biological adaptation that provides a foundation for environmental management as well as opportunities for biotechnology development. Studies of self-assembling systems will advance fundamental and applied research in biology, as well as our understanding of the forces driving self-assembly that can lead to the development of new materials. The facility will provide unique opportunities for collaboration with biotechnology and biomedical industry partners.Read moreRead less
