Research Projects
The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is very active in a variety of research areas, has made significant contributions in these areas and is well respected internationally as a research centre.
- The recent establishment of the Protein Crystallography Unit . This million dollar Unit (funded by the State Government Initiative, The Ian Potter Foundation, the National Health & Medical Research Council, Monash University) houses state-of-the-art equipment required to determine X-ray crystal structures of proteins and nucleic acids. For more information.
- A fluorescence imaging facility
- A Proteomics Facility incorporating a new mass spectrometer (Director, Professor Ian Smith)
- A bioinformatics suite (funded the Victorian Bioinformatics consortium)
- The Establishment of the Biomolecular Interactions Facility. This Facility, which contains a BiaCore 3000 instrument, and an Isothermal microcalorimter, enables researchers to quantify defined bimolecular interactions. This Facility was funded by the Wellcome Trust and Monash University. For more information contact jamie.rossjohn@med.monash.edu.au
