Many pathogenic bacteria produce outer polysaccharide capsules which play a major role in disease progression. The capsules bestow protection against host immune responses such as opsonisation, phagocytosis and complement mediated lysis. Certain capsules also act to mask the bacterium from the host (...)

Sight is arguably the most important of the five senses. Consequently, eye diseases and eye injuries that lead to visual impairment and blindness can have severe impacts on the lives of the victims. Worldwide, millions of people suffer traumatic eye injury or surgical wounds yearly, and these (...)

Everyone is warmly invited to our Mathematics and Statistics Colloquium. This will be the first talk by our newly appointed Professor of Applied Mathematics, please come along to welcome Professor Abarzhi to the School.

Talk title: Rayleigh-Taylor instability and interfacial mixing

Soft core-shell polymeric nanoparticles are an area of great research interest, due to their potential advantages in the sustained and targeted delivery of therapeutic payloads. These systems can offer significant improvements in the temporal and spatial control of drug delivery. In this talk, the (...)

Research indicates the provision of video feedback on student assessments results in an overwhelmingly positive impact on engagement, performance and overall perception of the unit and its coordinator. Join Learning Technologists Liberty Cramer and Michelle Bunting from the Centre for Education (...)

Everyone is warmly invited to the Joint Physics and Mathematics Colloquium. This special event is due to the visit of Professor Rod Gover from the University of Auckland. Please come along to hear about some interesting developments in mathematical physics.

Talk title: Conformal geometry (...)

The integration of biology into synthetic systems is an exciting concept and humans have much to learn from how nature appears to seamlessly undertake programmable assembly. Through this process exquisitely engineered structures with both function and hierarchy can be produced. Mimicking, and even (...)

Pluripotent (embryonic) stem cells have long been an elusive target for livestock as they were seen as the exclusive route for effecting precise genome editing. The first generation of cattle and reprogrammed sheep induced Pluripotent Stem Cells from our lab raised exciting possibilities to realise (...)

November 13-15, 2016 – Bond University, Gold Coast

Look beyond disciplinary boundaries and join us at NSC 2016 for (...)

PPR proteins are modular RNA-binding proteins with repeated 35-amino acid sequence motifs that control mitochondrial and plastid gene expression. They are being considered as a potential tool for manipulating gene expression in plants because they can recognize a wide range of different RNA (...)

R is a free and extremely powerful language and software environment for statistical computing, data analysis, and graphics. The course is designed for those who have no experience with R, but have a basic understanding of statistics. Those without this experience are encouraged to attend the (...)

Gaussian, Inc., in cooperation with the The University of Western Australia, is pleased to announce that the workshop “Introduction to Gaussian: Theory and Practice” will be held at The University of Western Australia in Perth, Australia from December 3 - 7, 2016. Researchers at all levels (...)

Learn more about the novel approach to correlative microscopy, in which a fluorescence microscope and a scanning electron microscope illuminate the same area of a sample at the same time enabling an understanding of cellular structure-function relations. Fluorescence microscopy is well known for (...)
