What's On at UWA

Over the past 40 years flow cytometry has come a long way. Advancements in optical and fluidic design, component miniaturisation, intuitive software and a wide range of new fluorochromes have made flow analysers and cell sorters more accessible to a new generation of scientists. Despite the (...)

The Seminar: The diversity of human breast cancer subtypes has led to the hypothesis that breast cancer is a number of different diseases arising from cells at various stages of differentiation. We have derived clonal multipotent metastatic mammary cancer stem cells from the polyomavirus middle T (...)

This seminar introduces the cutting edge CyTOF instrument located at CMCA@Perkins; the first one in Western Australia and the second in Australia. Mass cytometry uniquely resolves more than 40 probes simultaneously on a per-cell basis at high acquisition rates, thereby providing researchers with (...)

The Seminar: Some forms of smooth muscle show a property known as 'catch', where force production is maintained even though intracellular Ca2+ (the trigger for muscle contraction) drops back to very low levels. Skeletal muscle has also been reported to display a 'catch-like' enhanced contractile (...)

Semi-finals from 9.15 - 12.00. Finals from 3-5pm.

This is a NH&MRC grant information session followed by a light lunch.

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 (...)
