Assemble a cross-disciplinary team with requisite skill to uncover new molecular pathways regulating haemopoiesis [ 2007 - 2010 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Douglas Hilton (Principal investigator)

Brief description The major preoccupation of biology in the last decade has been the sequencing of the genomes of humans and important animal, plant, bacterial and viral organisms. With the completion of these projects, focus has shifted to understanding the molecular networks that regulate the biochemical, cellular and physiological processes that maintain health and the changes to these networks that lead to the onset and progression of disease. Within this fluid research landscape, my principal career goal over the next 5 years is to ensure that, during a period of generational change at WEHI, its iconic molecular haematology team continues to flourish. Realizing this goal will allow us to use knowledge of the molecular determinants of health and disease to improve clinical outcomes of poorly treated conditions and in doing so improve the lives of patients and the health of the Australian economy.
