B) The Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics
Waite Campus, University of Adelaide
The Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics, the largest Crop Genomics Centre in the Southern Hemisphere, is a $55 million joint venture which combines genetic, physiological and developmental information with functional genomics to identify and characterise the genes controlling adaptation to abiotic stresses in wheat, barley and model species. This information is used to develop new strategies for enhancing stress tolerance, to develop plants tolerant to multiple stresses and to identify mechanisms for extending stress tolerance well beyond that in existing germplasm. The development of this Centre will ensure that Australia, and Adelaide, play a prominent role in international plant genomics research, and that competitiveness is maintained in the cereal cropping industry. |

Either:
1) School of Nursing and Midwifery teaching laboratories
The School of Nursing and Midwifery at Flinders University is renowned for its excellence among nursing and midwifery education providers in Australia.
The School is embracing a number of innovative strategies designed to ensure that by the year 2010 it will be considered one of the top 10 nursing and midwifery Schools in the world. The main teaching facilities are located in the Sturt Buildings, within the 165-hectare Flinders campus. Sturt facilities include lecture theatres, nursing and science labs, a library, bookstore, cafe and computer labs.
and finishing with:
the School of Medicine, Clinical Skills and Simulation Unit
The Clinical Skills and Simulations Unit in the School of Medicine consists of two sub-units: The Clinical Skills Learning Unit, and the Clinical Simulation Unit. The Clinical Skills Learning Unit has been developed in response to changing patient attitudes to medical students "learning" on them and as the focus of structured and high quality clinical skills teaching. One half of the unit is set up as a curtained four bed bay. This allows the introduction of students to non-intimate examination techniques. The other half of the unit is set up for learning practical procedures. The unit possesses computers linked to our website guiding the students through clinical skills learning and revision with written information, pictures and video images.
In the same way that airlines use flight simulators to hone the skills of their pilots, the Clinical Simulation Unit provides medical students and health professionals with a unique environment to learn and practise clinical skills associated with patient management. The major focus is acute airway care and management of emergency life-threatening situations. The CSU has three major teaching areas: The Structured Airway Teaching Lab, The Procedures Lab for learning CVC insertion, arterial lines, thoracocentesis, controlling haemorrhage, etc, and The Simulation Lab which is based around a full human patient simulator.

2) Flinders Advanced Analytical Laboratory (mass spectrometry)
The newly established Flinders Advanced Analytical Laboratory (FAAL) is supported by the Faculties of Science & Engineering and Health Sciences, and is part of the Flinders research node of the Adelaide Integrated Biosciences network of BioInnovation SA. It brings together world class expertise and analytical capability in biotechnology, nanotechnology, protein structure and materials science through mass spectrometry and plasmon surface resonance.
and finishing with:
the School of Informatics & Engineering, tour of Engineering laboratories and workshops
The Engineering Building in the School of Informatics and Engineering is a modern self-contained facility for research and teaching programs with a focus in the areas of biomedical and computer systems engineering. Flinders offers a Bachelor of Engineering in the specialist areas of Biomedical, Computer, Electrical and Electronic, and Software Engineering.
