Research School of Biology
The ANU Research School of Biology (RSB) carries out research in a wide range of biological and biomedical sciences and oversees the University's Biology curriculum, with a diverse offering of courses across both undergraduate and graduate degrees.
Researchers have uncovered a mechanism that helps plants continue photosynthesising under extreme heat and dry air conditions.
Three Australian National University (ANU) scientists have been recognised for their extraordinary work by being elected Fellows of the Australian Academy of Science.
Research led by The Australian National University (ANU) has revealed that wild sulphur-crested cockatoos learn what foods are safe to eat by watching each other — a discovery that helps explain how the species thrives in rapidly changing urban environments.
PS Seminar Series: Identification and characterization of ion channels in the photosynthetic bacterium Synechocystis PCC 6803
The photosynthetic bacterium Synechocystis PCC6803 is a widely used model organism for studying bacterial photosynthesis and has considerable biotechnological potential.
E&E Seminar Series: Tarring the emergence of life
Attempts to develop abiotic, self-sustaining, evolving molecular systems in the lab tend to produce tarry, dead-end messes rather than macromolecular products with potential for biostructure and function. This is the infamous ‘tar paradox’. Nevertheless, primordial life somehow emerged despite that presumed handicap.
