Australian Peptide Display Facility (ARC LIEF administered by University of Sydney) (2022)
Abstract
The aim of this project is to develop a globally unique facility for the discovery of bioactive peptides for application in the chemical and biological sciences and industry. We expect to build an integrated technology platform for the identification, synthesis, purification and confirmatory testing of such molecules with unprecedented speed and efficiency. The intended outcome is the establishment of a national peptide display facility that will be accessible to all Australian researchers, leading to enhanced capacity to discover bioactive molecules for a range of applications. This should provide economic benefits through commercial development, including the discovery of new agricultural products.
