BSB Seminar Series: Twist Bioscience, Writing the Future of Synthetic Biology

Twist Bioscience is a leading and rapidly growing synthetic biology and genomics company that has developed a disruptive DNA synthesis platform to industrialize the engineering of biology. The core of the platform is a proprietary technology that pioneers a new method of manufacturing synthetic DNA by “writing” DNA on a silicon chip.

PS PhD Exit Seminar - Decrypting the cell-specific cellular signalling pathways and acclimation responses driving stress-resilient C4 photosynthesis

Abiotic stresses like heat and excess sunlight perturb photosynthesis in chloroplasts and induce the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

E&E PhD Exit Seminar: Understanding Australian Orchids & Their Mycorrhizal Fungi – Macro to Microevolutionary Perspectives

The majority of studies into the Australian orchid flora and associated funga have thus far been narrow in scope and focused either on a macro- or microevolutionary scale. In this thesis, I studied the Australian terrestrial orchid flora and its associated funga as a unified system spanning from the macro to microevolutionary scale.
