David Mansell certified the complex G26 Glycomics Laboratory Building creating an integrated glycomics research precinct at Griffith University, Gold Coast Campus. This key development tripled the existing floor space and number of researchers at the Institute for Glycomics. Furthermore, it added new research capabilities in the areas of microbial glycomics, and pre-clinical drug development.
Key Features:
• Research laboratory and office space for 150 staff members.
• A new infection control animal holding facility specifically designed for PC2 and PC3 experimentation.
• A Glycochemistry Facility for synthesis of organic compounds for use in drug design and development.
• A Glycobiochemistry Facility for molecular biology and biological screening of lead compounds for drug development.
• A Glycobiology Facility for studying microbial glycomics in pathogenic viruses, bacteria and parasites.
