BSB Seminar Series: Malaria parasite invasion of human red blood cells and the insights we can obtain from 4D imaging »
Associate Professor Kelly Roger's team has built a lattice light sheet microscope which was instrumental in the discovery that mitochondrial DNA is released during apoptosis through BAK and BAX pores in the outer mitochondrial membrane.
E&E Seminar: Modeling planetary change to understand the evolution of biodiversity »
The extraordinary diversity of life has evolved alongside major changes in Earth’s climate and geography and understanding this link is one of the key goals of evolutionary biology.
PS PhD Exit Seminar: Identification of auxin transport inhibiting flavonoids necessary for nodulation in Medicago truncatula »
During nitrogen-fixing symbiosis, soil bacteria called rhizobia induce the formation of root nodules on legume roots, in which they fix atmospheric nitrogen that the plant can use as a nitrogen source.
E&E PhD Exit Seminar: Understanding the movement and dispersal of saltwater crocodiles in and around Australia »
Human-crocodile conflict is becoming a conservation challenge worldwide. The saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) is the largest (>6 m total length, >1000kg) and most aggressive living crocodilian species being responsible for increasing attacks on people and domestic animals in many countries.
E&E Seminar: Importance of careful and systematic observations in basic and applied research »
Toxins are thought as villains as they cause death and debilitation. In reality, they have contributed more to improving our lives than cause death.
PS PhD Exit Seminar - Roles and Interplay of Flavonoids, Reactive Oxygen Species, and Cytokinin in the Symbiotic Infection of Medicago truncatula by...
In my project I have examined the roles and interplay of the plant signalling factors, flavonoids, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and cytokinin in establishment of symbiotic infection of rhizobia in the roots of the model legume Medicago truncatula.
RSB Director's Seminar: Genes, Trees & Forests: new paradigms for 21st century biology »
Biodiversity rests on a foundation of adaptive and neutral variation within populations and species, that interact in communities or coexist in assemblages, to define ecosystems that provide habitat and life support services including a stable climate. New technologies span this biodiversity pyramid and allow rapid and
PS PhD Exit Seminar - From structure to function: characterising enzymatic effectors from pathogenic fungi »
Agricultural crop production is continually challenged by plant-pathogenic fungi, jeopardizing global food security. Central to plant-fungal interactions are small proteins called effectors, which can be secreted by pathogens into plant cells to promote disease.
2024 Honours and Masters Information Session »
Come and find out what the RSB Honours and Masters Research Programs entail.
E&E Seminar: How to build an epigenetic time-machine: century-old chromatin architecture sequestered in museums »
Co-ordinated regulation of chromatin architecture is a major driver of phenotypic diversity, development and disease but we know shockingly little about the evolutionary dynamics of chromatin reorganisation as it has occurred through time.
