What's On at UWA

Living cells possess an exquisite ability to sense and respond to physical information in their microenvironment. This ability plays a key role in many fundamentally important physiological and pathological processes. I will describe our work utilizing a variety of strategies to use physical cues (...)

Chronic airway diseases including COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and lung cancer are leading causes of worldwide mortality with annual healthcare costs of billions of pounds. Despite this, there have been only a few therapeutic advances in these conditions over the past 20 years (...)

The Seminar: The mature CNS has limited intrinsic capacity for repair after injury. I will summarize results from the lab over the past 10 years that have quantified the effects of various pharmacotherapy and gene therapy regimes on the survival and regenerative capacity of injured adult retinal (...)
