NCRIS funded facilities
National Imaging Facility (NIF)The NIF provides state-of-the-art imaging of animals, plants and materials for the Australian Research Community. NIF's grid of imaging facilities with nodes in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Victoria provide a range of leading-edge imaging instrumentation and advice and assistance in the optimal use of imaging to the research community.
The National Deuteration Facility
This facility produces deuterated molecules for structural analysis using neutron scattering, NMR and other techniques. This involves either in vivo biodeuteration for production of partly or completely deuterated proteins and other biopolymers, or isotopic exchange followed by chemical synthesis for production of organic molecules for the soft matter community.
The Manufacture of Recombinant Proteins and Biofuels
This project offers subsidised access to eligible researchers for process development or pilot scale manufacturing activities for development of recombinant protein or biofuel technologies. Of the eleven participating facilities, some have the capability to produce proteins for use in clinical trials while others assist with the development of biofuels from lignocellulosic or algae feedstock.
The Australian Microscopy and Microanalysis Research Facility
The AMMRF is a user-focused, interdisciplinary organisation that employs microscopy and microanalysis to explore structure-function relationships in biological and medical sciences technology as well as many other fields of science and engineering. Accessible to all Australian researchers and enterprises, the facility provides a quality user experience enabled through the provision of world-class research services, research training and research programs.
Australian Plant Phenomics Facility
The Australian Plant Phenomics Facility will provide high throughput imaging using visible, near infra-red, far infra-red and fluorescent imaging, and will enable the development of capabilities and facilities to provide a comprehensive, continuous analysis of plant growth and performance using modern technologies. The facility will relieve the "phenotyping bottleneck" which has, until now, limited our ability to capitalise on substantial investments already made in plant functional genomics and modern breeding technologies.
Bioplatforms Australia - Evolving Biomolecular Platforms and Informatics
The last decade has seen rapid and continuing advances in technologies supporting analysis of the molecular basis of biological systems. Bioplatforms Australia enables Australian researchers through access to integrated "omics" technologies across the Genomics, Proteomics, Metabolomics and Bioinformatics sectors.
The Manufacture of Human Cell and Cellular Based Products for Transplantation
This project fosters collaborative relationships in the field of manufacture of human cell and cellular based products for transplantation through the provision of infrastructure and assistance in establishing, maintaining or improving quality systems for the purposes fo obtaining or maintaining a TGA GMP licence in the field.
