What's On at UWA

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 (...)

Dr Tara Richman completed her PhD studies at the University of Western Australia in 2014 and is currently a post-doctoral scientist in Aleksandra Filipovska's laboratory. Due to her time as a research assistant before commencing her PhD studies in 2010, Tara has experience in several diverse areas (...)

A fundraising dinner, in support of the development of Perth's Early Music Project, will be held at the historic St George's College in September. Perth's Early Music Project is to be hosted by St George's College from next year and will feature the creation of an Early Music Festival and a (...)

Building upon the theoretical concepts that underpin this still youthful and dynamic discipline, this unit broadens and extends understanding of the practica application of advanced modern epidemiological principles. Current issues in epidemiology will be presented, with particular emphasis on (...)

Mitchell received his PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Sydney in 2013, where he worked in Prof. Joel Mackay's group to develop artificial zinc-finger proteins to specifically recognize RNA for sequence-specific RNA-targeting applications. In 2013, Mitchell moved to the University of (...)

St George's College and the SAS Resources Trust are combining together on Saturday 10th October for a day of interest and enjoyment at the College. The activities will include an SAS historical display and talks from former SAS officers. The "Midday Live Set" featuring resident musicans (...)

The Seminar: Diet as a preventative tool or for health improvement is not new, but the effect of diet or diet components on the gut microbiota is still poorly understood. The understanding of such effects is becoming ever more important as the gut microbiota's effect on host health becomes more (...)

Associate Professor Evan Ingley heads the Cell Signalling group, which has an interest in understanding the signalling networks of both normal and diseased cells in blood development and cancer. Evan completed his PhD at The Australian National University working on the cytokine Interleukin-5 and (...)

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 (...)

The Seminar: Cooperation is the foundation of human social life and by any definition the essence of culture itself: shared meaning, value, and goals. But how it evolved remains a mystery. Game theory shows that it can evolve but is silent about mechanisms - what motivates us to cooperate? Moreover (...)

Three PhD students will give talks, entitled as follows. Anne Kramer, GCTM-5: A novel marker for liver progenitor cells in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Thomas Iosifidis, Establishing Migration Trajectories of Primary Airway Epithelial cells during Wound Repair. Zoe White, Impact of (...)

Darren is currently CEO and Managing Director of Occurx and has more than 20 years of management and research experience in the life sciences sector, particularly relating to drug development.

Darren is also a Professor & Director of Biomedical Research in the Department of Medicine (...)

Professor Jill Milroy and Professor Pat Dudgeon will discuss their current work in relation to the Poche Centre for Indigenous Health and the National Empowerment Project respectively.

Introduced by Professor Sandy Toussaint of the Berndt Museum who is co-curator with the Warmun (...)

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 (...)

Dr. Haibo Jiang completed his PhD in Materials at University of Oxford, and continued for a postdoc in Prof. Chris Grovenor's group working on SIMS ion microscopy for biomedical imaging, during which he demonstrated high-resolution direct visualization of lipids and peptides in cells and tissues (...)

Prof Bill Cookson of Imperial College London discusses "Asthma: genes versus the microbiome at the airway barrier". A light lunch follows the presentation.

William Cookson is Professor of Genomic Medicine at Imperial College London and Head of Respiratory Sciences for the College. He is also Head of the Asmarley Centre for Genomic Medicine at the National Heart and Lung Institute. He won a Joint Wellcome Senior Investigator Award with Professor Miriam (...)
