What's On at UWA

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 (...)

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 (...)

This presentation will address selected case studies applied to a range of different problems of relevance to materials science, catalysis, environmental applications or pharmaceutical and petroleum industries, difficult to solve by other solid-state characterisation tools. The presentation is (...)

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 (...)

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 (...)
