To date, such technologies include inhibition of the settlement and growth of marine organisms (fouling) on artificial surfaces; interference with microbial regulatory systems, and identification and characterization of novel classes of signalling molecules for the modulation of bacterial biofilm formation. In essence, the Centre aims to understand and use "smart molecules" in novel biotechnologies.
