BSB Seminar Series: The Antimalarial Peroxide Artemisinin and Derivatives: Mechanism of Action - The "Heme Activation" Hypothesis vs....
Over 50 years ago, the active principle 青蒿素 qīng hāo sū or artemisinin was isolated in pure crystal-line form from the leaves of the Chinese traditional herb 青蒿 qīng hāo - Artemisia annua - by Chinese groups working under the remarkable Project 523 during the latter stages of the Chinese Cultural Revolution.
Joint PS AFII seminar - Building university-industry partnership towards real-world applications: examples from ANU Division of Plant Sciences ...
The Australian agrifood sector faces complex and multifaceted challenges to its continued growth and evolution, including a changing climate and geopolitical instability.
BSB Seminar Series: Uncovering therapeutic vulnerabilities in gastric cancer »
Dr Buchert will present two vignettes highlighting his group’s research in gastric cancer.
PS Seminar Series: Photosynthesis at extremes »
This seminar will explore photosynthetic strategies across diverse extreme environments, presenting case studies on cyanobacteria inhabiting marine oxygen deficient zones, algae growing within sea-ice and snow, and chemoautotrophic bacteria encased within ancient anoxic marine brines.
PS Seminar Series: Let’s get positive about salt. Establishing a new paradigm for salinity tolerance in cereals »
Soil salinity (soil NaCl) can significantly reduce plant growth and yield; even moderate levels can reduce the grain yield of major cereal crops by 50%. In Australia, the estimated cost of salinity on agricultural productivity is valued at $1 billion per annum.
E&E Seminar: Physiological costs of movement in a highly-social terrestrial bird, the Vulturine guineafowl »
Movement is a fundamental part of life for most animals, allowing them to access food or mates and facilitating escape from predators.
RSB Director's Seminar: Greasing the Malaria life-cycle - from fundamental research to translation »
Malaria infections have plagued humanity for millennia, currently threatening over 40% of the global population. By studying malaria parasites, we can discover innovative ways to combat the disease and gain insights into other pathogens and their hosts.
E&E Seminar: The Australian Angiosperm Tree of Life: the phylogenomics activity of Genomics for Australian Plants »
The Phylogenomics activity area of the Genomics for Australian Plants consortium aimed to assemble the Australian Angiosperm Tree of Life (AAToL) and to build bioinformatic tools for phylogenomic projects conducted by Australian taxonomists.
ANU Plant SynBio Facility Information Session »
Join a short conversation about the future ANU Plant Synbio Facility, an NCRIS-Australian Synthetic Biology Initiative.
PS Seminar Series - From Pathogen Genomics to Disease Resistance Engineering »
Genome structure and maintenance determine the evolvability of organisms. The genomes of fungal plant pathogens are often structured heterogeneously, harboring highly variable compartments and compartments of relative stability.
