Mass Spectrometric Investigations of Conformation and Dynamics of Biological Complexes [ 2008 - 2010 ]

Research Grant

Researchers Dr JL Beck; Prof NE Dixon; Prof C Robinson

Brief description The new collaboration between the leading mass spectrometry groups at University Wollongong and Cambridge University will benefit both partners. Researchers at Wollongong will have access to an ion mobility mass spectrometry technology not currently available in Australia that will contribute to our understanding of complicated cellular processes such as chromosome replication. The researchers' experience with this technology will pave the way for introduction of the technology to Australia and benefit the wider scientific community in wide-ranging projects such as development of new antibiotics and vaccines. Students from both institutions will benefit from experiencing science from an international perspective.
