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 (...)

The Pawsey Centre invites you to attend a presentation of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) case studies from Dr. Julien Cisonni and Professor Ben Mullins. This presentation will be focusing on respiratory airflows and airway related pathology, and it would be of interest to researchers who use (...)

After completing his PhD at the University of Western Australia, A/Prof. McLaughlin was employed for three years at the University of Oxford as a postdoctoral researcher. He then left academia for industry, working in a spin-off company from the University of Oxford, and eventually being appointed (...)

The GeneMappers conference has traditionally focused on novel concepts for the genetic dissection of common complex human diseases. This year the emphasis of the conference will be on exploring these themes in detail, with a particular focus on the contemporary methods and techniques that will take (...)

To date, genome-wide association studies have identified ~40 genetic risk variants for asthma and related allergic conditions. An important challenge we face is how to identify the genes that underlie these associations and, amongst these, how to determine if disruption of gene expression might (...)
