Resources
The Biomolecular Discovery Research Centre have access to the following world-class facilities:
| ARC Training Centre for Facilitated Advancement of Australia's Bioactives (FAAB) FAAB is an academia-industry consortium of leading researchers in bioactive identification, characterisation, manufacturing, and commercial development, underpinned by state-of-the-art biomolecular analytical technologies and strong expertise in genomics, proteomics, glycomics, biomedical and bioengineering techniques, advanced formulations science and nanotechnology. |
The Macquarie Galleria Research Facility The Macquarie Galleria Research Facility is Australia's first functional, high-throughput facility for Galleria mellonella as a versatile in vivo invertebrate animal model to study infection and pathogenicity, toxicity, microbe interaction, bioremediation, and more. |
APAF (Australian Proteome Analysis Facility) APAF has over 20 years’ experience in providing proteomic services, and combined with leading edge infrastructure and expertise provides total solutions for all your proteomic research needs. |
ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology The ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology (CoESB) is developing a vibrant bioeconomy based on Australia's strengths in agriculture. |
MUCAB (Macquarie University Centre for Analytical Biotechnology) The Centre manages substantial instrumentation resources appropriate for the contemporary study of biomolecules and natural products, and has led to Macquarie University being recognised nationally as a centre of excellence for biomolecular analysis. |
Macquarie University Microscopy Unit The Microscopy Unit contains a range of modern imaging equipment such as the Atomic Force Microscope, light microscopy, electron microscopy, confocal microscopy, histology and digital image capture. |
The high throughput, precise sorting and adaptability offered by this instrument will support diverse projects from ‘single cell genomics’, to population proteomics and nanoparticle research. |
Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Facilities at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences are used to model biological systems. |
Macquarie University Plant Growth Facility Housing a wide range of experimental programs, this facility provides a basis for plant research in national and international collaborative programs. |
This new state of the art facility hosts two solution-state instruments (Bruker AVII 600 MHz NMR Spectrometer (Narcissus) and Bruker Avance DPX 400 MHz NMR Spectrometer (Echo)) and a parahydrogen generator, used to produce hyperpolarised substrates. |
