What's On at UWA

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 (...)

Where did lasers come from? How have lasers gone from being a solution in search of a problem to being a multi-billion dollar industry? What might lasers do for us in the future? Come along and find out!

Patric Helean and Hans Bachor will give an exciting public lecture on lasers with (...)

William Ryerson is founder and President of Population Media Centre, and President of the Population Institute. For over 40 years he has worked in the field of reproductive health, including two decades of experience adapting the Sabido methodology for behaviour change communications to various (...)

Mathematics & Statistics Colloquium

The cassava plant which millions of families in East Africa depend on for there daily calories is under attack by the African cassava whitefly, Bemisia tabaci which is a small sap sucking insect causing extensive damage to major food staples in all parts of the world. B. tabaci is a species (...)

The global population will run out of food unless science can generate sufficient new crops that bear resilience to the current and increasing yield limitations of temperature extremes, water availability and salt tolerance and nutrient efficiency. In short, we need a third food revolution, to (...)

This unit aims to acquaint you with the theory and the practical skills needed for analysis of large sets of linked administrative health data at an introductory or intermediate level.

The School of Population Health offers a range of 5 day fulltime out of semester units for course (...)

I will describe the natural, stepwise evolutionary journey that lead to the creation of a novel, functional peptide in sunflower seeds. This peptide, Sunflower Trypsin Inhibitor‑1 (SFTI‑1) originates within the same coding sequence as a seed storage albumin called PawS1 and is (...)

The UWA Staff Community Choir is a partnership initiative of Safety, Health & Wellbeing and the School of Music.

Led by Michael Battersby, the choir will dazzle, delight and entertain you. Come and see the fun.

The self-assembly of multi-nuclear metallosupramolecular architectures has received significant recent attention due to potential applications in host-guest chemistry and catalysis. The programmed formation of these beautiful and complex systems generally results from the combination of the (...)

Offered through the UWA Centre for Aboriginal Medical and Dental Health CAMDH, this unit offers an overview of Aboriginal lifestyle. It focusses on traditional and environmental responsibilities and the social practices of Indigenous communities during pre and post colonial times, followed by an (...)

The MSGPP collaboration has used structural genomics, targeted genetics, and synthetic chemistry to identify, validate, and exploit potential drug targets in parasitic protozoa. One notable success from this approach has targeted Calcium-Dependent Protein Kinases (CDPKs), a class of proteins found (...)
