What's On at UWA

This seminar introduces the cutting edge CyTOF instrument located at CMCA@Perkins; the first one in Western Australia and the second in Australia. Mass cytometry uniquely resolves more than 40 probes simultaneously on a per-cell basis at high acquisition rates, thereby providing researchers with (...)

Whatever your idea of impossible might be, visit UWA 7 - 11 September for Research Week and discover the possibilities when we showcase UWA Research and its contribution to local and global communities. With over 40 events, there is sure to be something that ignites your interest.

Come and learn about Intellectual Property and Commercialisation at UWA. Everything you need to know in 45 minutes or less!

The seminar will give an overview of:

. Intellectual Property - what it is and why it's important

. Patenting - what you need to get a patent < (...)

NMR spectroscopy finds its most prominent applications in structural biology and systems biology. Structural biology is a well-travelled realm, but NMR-based metabolomics and the application of NMR in systems biology are relatively new and less known lands. This presentation will touch on various (...)

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy may not be the first technique on your list for understanding ligand-target interactions but it is a powerful approach that is capable of monitoring and understanding interactions at the atomic level. This presentation outlines two on-going projects (...)

This presentation will address selected case studies applied to a range of different problems of relevance to materials science, catalysis, environmental applications or pharmaceutical and petroleum industries, difficult to solve by other solid-state characterisation tools. The presentation is (...)

Stem cells rely on, and are finely tuned to respond to, their immediate microenvironment, which can be exceedingly complex. Biomaterials must present cells with finely tuned mechanical cues to systematically examine their control over development or pathological insults. In this talk I will (...)

The framework structures of nanoporous crystals are varied and complex and the solutions from which the crystals grow a soup of hundreds of pre-nucleation species each competing for supremacy. Yet conditions can normally be found under which it is possible to prepare a pure phase where there is one (...)

Where did lasers come from? How have lasers gone from being a solution in search of a problem to being a multi-billion dollar industry? What might lasers do for us in the future? Come along and find out!

Patric Helean and Hans Bachor will give an exciting public lecture on lasers with (...)

Professor Stephen Hill studied Pharmacology in Bristol (BSc, 1976) and then undertook PhD studies in the Department of Pharmacology in Cambridge (PhD 1979). After postdoctoral studies in Cambridge (1979-1981) he was appointed to a lecturer position in the Department of Pharmacy at the University of (...)

The analysis of thin films introduces numerous unique complexities compared to bulk materials. A thorough knowledge of thin film XRD enables researchers to gain a detailed understanding of their structure and composition and hence, arms them with the knowledge to better predict their in-service (...)

The bottom-up approach is considered a potential alternative for the low cost manufacturing of nanostructured materials. It is based on the concept of self-assembly of nanostructures on a substrate, and is emerging as an alternative paradigm for traditional top down fabrication used in the (...)

The Seminar: Imagine a technique that requires minimal or no sample preparation and allows you to explore the internal structure of your sample down to the micrometre scale without the need for a single cut. This can be achieved using X-ray microscopy (XRM), which, as for medical CAT scanners (...)

CMCA@Perkins will be hosting this workshop. For bookings please email: cytometry.org.au/content/UpcomingMeetings. A one hour seminar will also be held on Tuesday 5 April. Dr Pratip Chattopadhyay is from the ImmunoTechnology Section, Vaccine Research Centre, NIH, and Thomas Ashhurst from the (...)

On behalf of the organising committee of the Symposium of WA Neuroscience (SWAN), in association with the Neurotrauma Research Program of WA and supported by the WA Neuroscience Research Institute, the Australasian Neuroscience Society and Murdoch University, it is my pleasure to announce that (...)

UWA encourages its researchers to be proactive and plan early for applications to competitive grant schemes. With the move to continuous rounds of the ARC Linkage program from the 1st July, it is more important than ever to plan ahead! To help you in this regard, the UWA Research Development team (...)

Mass cytometry has catalysed the revolution of single-cell proteomics. Mass cytometry employs heavy metal isotope tags to simultaneously measure dozens of cellular targets, enabling the most comprehensive understanding of cell phenotypes, signalling pathways and function. The CyTOF System dawns as (...)

X-ray Diffraction is a very useful technique for characterisation of various materials in different ways. With the recent advancement in hardware and software technology, high end X-ray Diffraction and X-ray Scattering experiments usually done on Synchrotron can be performed at lab scale even (...)

Drinks, food, fireworks and science. Come and watch as our fresh, young scientists present their work at a pub event with a difference.

The ten young scientists will describe their scientific discoveries in the time it takes a party sparkler to burn out.

One hundred early-caree (...)

The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre and The University of Western Australia would like to invite you to the Pawsey Roadshow, an event showcasing services and resources that Pawsey provides to researchers across Australia.

This free event will see researchers presenting about their (...)
