What's On at UWA

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 (...)

This workshop will outline how CERI can help researchers develop entrepreneurial skills and assist them through the innovation process. CERI is a not-for-profit organisation based in Nedlands.

The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre has a range of training sessions coming up in July. If you are interested in learning how to apply advanced computing to solve research problems, please register for the training sessions below:

11-13 July: introductory and Intermediate Supercomputing

Over the past 20 years, focused ion bean (FIB) and SEM/FIB instrumentation has transformed scientists' ability to investigate materials to develop new sample preparation methods to become the industry standard and 'work-horse' for site-specific cross-section analysis, S/TEM sample preparation (cross (...)

If you’re an UWA’s researcher and your computational science, big data or visualisation work is limited by the computational resources, come and talk to the specialists from the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre at the upcoming Pawsey Clinic. Find out how you may benefit from the Pawsey resources (...)

Determination of inter and intracellular distribution of platinum chemotherapy using mass cytometry and nanoSIMS.

Seminar starts at 5.00pm. Refreshments from 4.30pm. All welcome

In principle, NMR is an ideal technique for metabolomics. It is non-destructive, non-biased, highly quantitative, requires no prior separation, permits the identification of novel compounds and needs no chemical derivatization. However, relative to other analytical techniques NMR is slow and (...)

The Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research will be holding their open day on Saturday 27 August 2016. Join us for talks on the very latest in research and treatments, guided tours of the building by medical researchers and a rare walk through our state-of-the-art laboratories where our (...)
