RSB Director's Seminar, Associate Professor Dan Andrews, Group Leader in the John Curtin School of Medical Research and the ANU School of Computing, Monday the 21st of July 2025.
Dietary shifts—particularly the inclusion of animal resources—were pivotal in human evolution, yet direct evidence of meat consumption in early hominins remains limited and debated.
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.
Plants don’t exist naturally in isolation. They are surrounded by, colonised by, and interact with, microorganisms.
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).
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.
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.
