Title: Decisions from (...)

The Seminar: Muscle contraction is tightly regulated by the release of Ca2+ form the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) following the excitation of the tubular (t-) system, an internalization of the plasma membrane. The t-system and SR are close enough for their respective imbedded proteins to make (...)

Everyone is warmly invited to our Mathematics and Statistics Colloquium.

Talk title: Design of dose-escalation trials: Research spurred by a trial that went wrong

Talk abstract: In March 2006 the topic of designed experiments briefly hit the British newspaper headlines when (...)

There has been a trend in measurement science to smaller and smaller sample sizes, and with this an associated decrease in the number of molecules or cells that are analysed. This trend has reached its logical conclusion of a range of techniques developed that can detect single molecules or single (...)

UWA Staff are invited to join Mark Bailye (Blackboard) and Centre for Education Futures staff for this active workshop to explore how technological tools can support the UWA Policy on Assessment, and enhance good assessment and feedback practice. This session will help you get the most out of (...)

Nanotechnology is developing as an industry, with nanoparticles finding their way into products. It is important to keep the potential industry production in mind when synthesising nanoparticles in the laboratory. Industry prefers continuous flow reactors as they have benefits in efficiency, cost (...)

Marine invertebrate-derived polycyclic alkaloids with 16-18π electron containing cores have therapeutic interest since they interfere with many biological disease targets. These compounds, which are commonly isolated from sponges and tunicates, are an important class of biologically active (...)

Alternative splicing plays a pivotal role in normal development and key cellular processes via its capacity to promote diversity in mRNA and protein isoforms. Aberrant alternative splicing has been found in many disease states including cancer. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms underlying (...)

The human mammary gland (MG) is unique in that it fully matures only in pregnancy and lactation, and has the ability to do so repeatedly during life. The function of the gland is to synthesise, secrete and deliver milk specifically for the nourishment, development and protection of the offspring (...)

The Seminar: The neuropeptide kisspeptin and its receptor, KiSS1R, govern the reproductive timeline of mammals. Previous studies pointed to their central role to maintain fertility by triggering puberty onset and promoting ovulation by stimulating gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion (...)

Next Wed26 October at 5:30pm we will be having a free wonderful event focused on promoting UN World Food Day and UN Sustainable Development Goal 2 to ' End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition plus promoting sustainable agriculture' from a WA perspective.

What is Open Access? An overview of OA plus an update on the latest global and local developments

Open Access publishing offers benefits to individual researchers and to the wider community, and key Australian funding agencies have mandates supporting it. If you have heard the term but (...)

Many pathogenic bacteria produce outer polysaccharide capsules which play a major role in disease progression. The capsules bestow protection against host immune responses such as opsonisation, phagocytosis and complement mediated lysis. Certain capsules also act to mask the bacterium from the host (...)

Sight is arguably the most important of the five senses. Consequently, eye diseases and eye injuries that lead to visual impairment and blindness can have severe impacts on the lives of the victims. Worldwide, millions of people suffer traumatic eye injury or surgical wounds yearly, and these (...)

Everyone is warmly invited to our Mathematics and Statistics Colloquium. This will be the first talk by our newly appointed Professor of Applied Mathematics, please come along to welcome Professor Abarzhi to the School.

Soft core-shell polymeric nanoparticles are an area of great research interest, due to their potential advantages in the sustained and targeted delivery of therapeutic payloads. These systems can offer significant improvements in the temporal and spatial control of drug delivery. In this talk, the (...)

Research indicates the provision of video feedback on student assessments results in an overwhelmingly positive impact on engagement, performance and overall perception of the unit and its coordinator.
