    Project Details

    Description

    The aim of this LIEF is to advance Australia's specimen banking capabilities through a new, enhanced national facility, the Australian Environmental Specimen Bank (AESB). The AESB would be founded on a unique current archive of human and environmental samples established by the partners to the LIEF. Importantly, the AESB would be managed as a nationally available (to all public sector researchers), operationally self-funded resource for integrated exposure research into the future. The archive is expected to support longitudinal and crosssectional studies to assess trends in exposure to chemical and biological hazards in the Australian population,identify emerging hazards, and provide a scientific basis for policy and regulatory actions.
