Koalas are eucalyptus folivore specialists that are heavily reliant on their gut microbiome to breakdown their high fibre, low protein diet. Here I will discuss our recent work investigating the koala gut microbiome; its role in koala health, nutrition and ecology.
My PhD research investigates the formation, composition, and dynamics of lipid-rich compartments during blood-stage development of P. falciparum, using advanced microscopy techniques including Nile Red spectral imaging and 3D focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM).
Plants don’t exist naturally in isolation. They are surrounded by, colonised by, and interact with, microorganisms.
By addressing key modeling challenges in mass spectrometry and tissue image analysis, this research advances the scalability, precision, and applicability of deep learning in clinical genomics, computational pathology, and personalized medicine.
Past events
Diagnose earlier and treat smarter is my policy to find cure for human diseases. The investigation of the disease progression at genome and proteome level can accurately tell us the medicinal tools to fix the problem.
Cognition plays a vital role in survival and reproduction, yet individuals often differ in their cognitive abilities. In my thesis, I investigated the combined influence of prenatal corticosterone (CORT) — the primary GC in reptiles — and incubation temperature on cognition in two species of skink.
Our research explores the concept of priming-induced stress memory in plants, where exposure to mild or non-lethal stress events equips plants to better confront subsequent, more severe stressors.
Hidden in plain sight and often going unnoticed, animals are undergoing changes in their behaviour, physiology, and morphology to survive an urban life. In this seminar, I will focus what my work on eastern water dragons has taught us about urban evolution.
The simultaneous measurement of meteorological variables along with ecosystem physiology has improved our understanding of how native and managed ecosystems respond to external forcings like climate change.
Weird as it may seem, our understanding of why species are the size they are is very limited. We don't really know why organisms grow, why they stop growing when they do, or why size changes when conditions change.
