What's On at UWA

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 (...)

Visit UWA from 5 – 9 September for UWA Research Week and imagine what is possible when we showcase UWA research and its impact on local and global communities.

With over 50 events it is a great opportunity for people to come and see the sorts of problems we are working on, the (...)

Pluripotent (embryonic) stem cells have long been an elusive target for livestock as they were seen as the exclusive route for effecting precise genome editing. The first generation of cattle and reprogrammed sheep induced Pluripotent Stem Cells from our lab raised exciting possibilities to realise (...)

55th Australian Society for Medical Research (ASMR) National Scientific Conference

“NEXT-GENERATION HEALTHCARE: MERGING BIOLOGY & TECHNOLOGY”

November 13-15, 2016 – Bond University, Gold Coast

Look beyond disciplinary boundaries and join us at NSC 2016 for (...)

Learn more about the novel approach to correlative microscopy, in which a fluorescence microscope and a scanning electron microscope illuminate the same area of a sample at the same time enabling an understanding of cellular structure-function relations. Fluorescence microscopy is well known for (...)

This seminar will have two topics and two speakers: 1. Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT): A novel multimodal imaging technology; 2. Investigations into the development of successful nanomedicines. Lunch provided. Please RSVP for catering purposes

For decades XPS (or ESCA) has been the well-accepted standard method for non-destructive chemical analysis of solid surfaces. Over recent years it has been possible to develop XPS systems that work far beyond the stand conditions of high or ultra-high vacuum. SPECS GmbH has developed a (...)

Cell-type specific functions and identity are tightly regulated by cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions. Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) have ultimate differentiation capacity and exceptionally low adhesion strength to ECM, yet the organisation, and the function of adhesion (...)

Multicolour flow cytometry is a powerful tool for the simultaneous analysis of multiple cellular markers. This workshop will enable you to design and run robust multicolour experiments on your digital flow cytometer. Theoretical presentation on Monday 20 February, 10.00am to 2.00pm at Harry (...)

Microscopic fossils of bacterial cells that have been discovered in ancient sediments from Western Australia and South Africa, tentatively suggest that life evolved on Earth around 3.5 billion years ago, in conditions that were radically different to those found on Earth today. Until recently (...)

10x Genomics meets the critical need for long range, structural and cellular information with an innovative system that transforms short-read sequencing technologies. The Chromium System supports comprehensive genomics and high-throughput single cell transcriptomics with its innovative reagent (...)

Xe plasma FIBs or iFIBs offer extremely high material removal rates and very low contamination compared to conventional gallium FIBs. As such, Xe plasma FIBs have great potential in applications such as failure analysis and MEMS fabrication in the semiconductor industry as well as in generating (...)

Corals are the framework builders of coral reefs and face a suite of both global and local pressures. One of the most prominent local stressors is sedimentation resulting from river-runoff, natural resuspension events and dredging. This project has investigated the impacts of a large scale dredging (...)

Modern molecular biology, with its emphasis on analysis of entire genomes, has provided a 'parts list' of cellular proteins as well as an enumeration of many of their associations, including receptor and ligand interactions. Missing from the molecular biological approaches, however, is an analysis (...)

The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre would like to invite you to the Pawsey Clinic at The University of Western Australia. This is one of a series of clinics. The clinic will commence with a 30 minute presentation about the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre at 9.00am, followed by consultations through the (...)

Do you run ELISAs? Save you samples, save time and money, run a Multiplex assay instead. This technology is well utilised in research areas of obesity, immunology and metabolism. Local multiplex studies conducted in Australia and New Zealand will be described in more detail.
