There is considerable interaction between the two centres. A major part of our funding comes from the CRC in the form of a rolling 5 year programme grant. This funding supports positions and consumables in eight research groups as well as core resources such as a DNA sequencing lab, protein sequencing lab and hybridoma unit. In addition to the Centre grant, many research groups receive additional grant support in the form of project grants from the CRC, Leukaemia Research Fund, Medical Research Council, Wellcome Trust, European Union and other agencies.
Some groups also have active collaborations and support from the pharmaceutical industry.
Research in cell and molecular biology requires the integration of many different disciplines and the organisation of the Centre allows interactions between research groups to be readily facilitated. For example many of the groups make use of the cell micro-injection and confocal imaging techniques of the Cell Imaging Team.
