What's On at UWA

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.

This course will cover topics such as:

-Presenting data for a single variable: Including an introduction to histograms, box plots, and bar graphs

-Visualisation of two or more variables: Including an introduction to scatterplots, pairs plots, parallel coordinate plot and (...)

The Characterisation Virtual Laboratory (CVL) is a computer desktop in the cloud preconfigured with collections of software tools, called workbenches, for processing atom probe, neuroimaging, structural biology, X-ray, general imaging and cytometry data. The CVL is available free of charge to all (...)

New microscopy techniques are providing amazing views of the cellular landscape. We have used 3D Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM), direct Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (dSTORM), 3D-Electron Tomography and Block-Face Scanning EM to explore the sub-cellular topography of the (...)

Step beyond the tangle of red tape and start your research sooner.*

Meet the UWA team who are here to work with researchers and central experts to quickly navigate the formalities of agreements and approvals. The Risk & Legal unit welcome researchers and peers to an informal open (...)
