What's On at UWA

Previous work in our lab, using fluorescent adenosine receptor agonists and antagonists, has provided novel insights into the allosteric regulation of adenosine A3 (A3AR) and A1 (A1AR) receptors by allosteric ligands and receptor dimerization in single living cells (1-2). We have also used a (...)

Professor Stephen Hill studied Pharmacology in Bristol (BSc, 1976) and then undertook PhD studies in the Department of Pharmacology in Cambridge (PhD 1979). After postdoctoral studies in Cambridge (1979-1981) he was appointed to a lecturer position in the Department of Pharmacy at the University of (...)

Twin-arginine translocation pathways have been identified in all domains of life. However in the eukaryotic domain they were thought to be only found in chloroplasts even though almost all plant mitochondrial genomes encode for a TatC protein. Our recent work has demonstrated that in Arabidopsis (...)

In the absence of large, randomised, well-controlled clinical trials (with independent replication) to address every research question we all need to increase our statistical literacy. We are often faced with the need to critically assess grant applications, manuscripts or reports without a (...)

The Gold Standard GAMSAT will host a GAMSAT Practice Test & Review seminar on Feb 4 - 5, 2016 at University Hall, University of Western Australia. The course will start at 9 am and ends at 6 pm daily.

The tutor of this course is Dr. Brett Ferdinand, author of the Gold Standard (...)

The next meeting of the Faculty of Science, Women in Science group will be a morning tea. All are welcome.

The morning tea is a great opportunity to network with other scientists in an informal setting. We will be discussing the implementation of the Faculty of Science mentoring (...)

The Seminar: My lab studies mechanisms involved in epigenetics and epitranscriptomics. Data from our studies of the incorporation of the histone variant CENP-A into centromeric chromatin will be presented. In addition, I will report on our work on the posttranscriptional modification of long (...)

Please join us to hear about the 2016/2017 Raine Medical Research Foundation funding programmes including Grants, Fellowships, Research Collaboration Awards, Visiting Professor Awards and Publication Prizes.

The Raine Foundation has allocated in excess of $36m for medical research since (...)

While it’s not the only type of evidence used in most investigations, trace evidence can provide invaluable information to the investigator and influence the legal process of criminal prosecutions. Join Kari as she details the chemistry behind examining physical evidence, and talks about some (...)

Ultrafast spectroscopy can provide a host of valuable information on the nature of and coupling between electronically excited states of molecules.

Experimental techniques such as femtosecond optically gated (FOG) fluorescence and broadband transient absorption (TA) can yield (...)

The analysis of thin films introduces numerous unique complexities compared to bulk materials. A thorough knowledge of thin film XRD enables researchers to gain a detailed understanding of their structure and composition and hence, arms them with the knowledge to better predict their in-service (...)

Joel Mackay trained as a chemist at the University of Auckland and a chemical biologist at The University of Cambridge before coming to Australia to postdoc with Glenn King at the University of Sydney. Over the course of the subsequent twenty years, he has succeeded in moving a total of about 20 (...)
