For the final RSB Director’s Seminar for 2019, we are very pleased to present a live recording of ANU’s own The Wholesome Show podcast, with special guest from RSB Dr Megan Head.

Leaf blotch disease poses a huge threat to wheat crop specially in Europe.

We have recently implemented an antibody microarray-based approach to systematically assess the host cell signalling response to intracellular pathogens; most of the antibodies on the array are phospho-specific, allowing to monitor the activation of signalling pathways by infections.

Mitochondrial function and cell viability require a functional and healthy mitochondrial proteome.

The quantitative genetics of photosynthesis efficiency in plants is not much investigated, even though breeding for photosynthesis would be interesting to maintain or improve annual increases in crop yields.

Conservation physiology unveils cause-and-effect relationships between threatening processes, like climate change to explore strategies to combat extinction.

Knowledge derived from genome sequences of humans and pathogens has the potential to accelerate diagnosis, prognosis and cure of disease.
