The ARC Centre of Excellence in Advanced Molecular Imaging integrates physics, chemistry and biology to unravel the complex molecular interactions that define immunity.
Funded from 2014, the Centre will develop new imaging methods to visualise atomic, molecular and cellular details of how immune proteins interact and affect immune responses, providing new insights into common diseases.

A team from Melbourne, Monash, UQ and the synchrotron (including core members of the ARC Imaging Centre team) have found what sends our MAITs into action to protect our gut from invaders.
The patented work is the starting point to understanding our first line of defence, and what happens when it goes wrong. It will lead to new ways of diagnosing and treating inflammatory bowel disease, peptic ulcers and even TB.

Melbourne, Monash, UQ and the synchrotron find what sends our MAITs into action to protect our gut from invaders.
Our guts, lungs and mouths are lined with mysterious immune cells that make up to ten per cent of the T cells in our immune system. Last year Australian researchers showed that these cells act as sentinels against invading bacteria and fungi. Now they’ve identified the precise biochemical key that wakes up these sentries and sends them into action.An overview of the research and its implications, the abstract of the paper, and background information on the ARC Centre of Excellence in Advanced Molecular Imaging.
