Description

Investigation of the molecular machinery enabling phage to enter bacteria. This project aims at a comprehensive understanding of the architecture of a biological nanomachine, called a phage, through broad-reaching investigation into how the component parts to work together to function in attacking bacteria. The discovery project takes the foundation knowledge of each of the component parts, builds a conceptual framework using breakthrough technology to address the precise architecture of the component parts within the nanomachine. The project aims to expand Australia’s knowledge base and research capability in the research frontier of nanomachines. This ground-breaking research program provides unique training opportunities for research students and staff in projects driving frontier technology applications.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 0601 - Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Lead: Prof Trevor Lithgow
