The discovery of a new critical enzyme could help engineer climate resilient crops capable of sucking far more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in a much more efficient way.
Professor Alexander Maier wants us to change our mind about parasites.
Meet the PhD researcher exploring how bacterial proteins could hold the key to reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.
Researchers have discovered why malaria parasites are vulnerable to some drug therapies but resistant to others, offering scientists another piece of the puzzle in the global fight against the disease.
A low-cost, non-toxic cancer treatment has been developed by researchers at The Australian National University (ANU). The treatment uses dead bacteria to help kick-start the immune system and shrink cancer.
Researchers from The Australian National University (ANU) have exposed a fatal flaw in the deadly parasite that causes malaria - one of the world's biggest killers.

This presentation highlights high-resolution cryo-EM structures of C. albicans Cdr1 in various substrate-bound states, with and without nucleotides, resolved at 3.45–3.74 Å.
Making key insights into antimalarial resistance mechanisms and delineate the utility of cutting-edge computational approaches that will go on to inform future drug design strategies and efforts.
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.
Dr Buchert will present two vignettes highlighting his group’s research in gastric cancer.
Di has established the first single-cell atlas for calcareous sponges using an endemic species of Australia, Sycon capricorn. His study reinforces the utility of the Sycon sponge as a model to explore a range of biological processes, such as wound healing.
In this seminar, Dr Hayley Bugeja will tell the story of the development of interactive workshops in a large second year genetics subject, which were iteratively designed over several years (pre and post pandemic).
