What's On at UWA

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 (...)

This event will showcase services and resources that Pawsey Supercomputing Centre can provide to UWA researchers to take their research to the next level. There will be time in the morning for existing users and potential users to have one-on-one assistance with Pawsey staff. This will be (...)

New equipment has recently been installed in CMCA's Cytometry Core at CMCA@Perkins, located in the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research. We will be holding an Information Session to explain their applications and how you can access the instruments.

In a malarial infection, there is a competition between the malaria parasite and the host. If the malarial parasite can reproduce sufficiently rapidly, it can reach a level of parasitaemia that is lethal to the host. However, if its rate of growth is slowed, the host’s adaptive immune response (...)

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques have changed the face of biomedical research and our view of the human body to the point where electron spin resonance (ESR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) now permeate most areas of clinical science and research (...)

CMCA and ZEISS will be presenting a seminar to explain the capabilities of the new ZEISS LSM 800 with Airyscan. Following the seminar demonstrations will be held for interested parties to learn more about the instrument. Demonstrations will be held in 1.5 hour slots from Monday 19 to Thursday 22 (...)

Join us for a seminar that will answer how microscopy can be used to unlock your research potential. The seminar will include presentations from Zeiss, Raith and Witec on multimodal and multiscale electron and light microscopy, as well as new frontiers in correlative techniques. Utilise microscopy (...)

R is a free and extremely powerful language and software environment for statistical computing, data analysis, and graphics. This course is designed for those who have no experience with R, but have a basic understanding of statistics.
