Areas of Research

• ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are multidomain integral membrane proteins that utilise the energy of ATP hydrolysis to translocate solutes across cellular membranes in all phyla.
• ABC transporters form one of the largest of all protein families and are central to many important biomedical phenomena, including resistance of cancers and pathogenic microbes to drugs.
  

There are many investigators in Sydney working on diverse aspects of various ABC transporters in systems ranging from prokaryotes to humans. Because ABC transporters are a class of large integral membrane proteins, many of the problems encountered and solutions arrived at, cut across disciplines and the specific systems studied.

Our CIG is aimed at enabling researchers from disparate backgrounds who have a common interest in ABC transporters but who would not normally meet, to exchange ideas and techniques. We are currently scheduling a one day meeting for early November.
