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.

Ion channels are the molecular gatekeepers of our cells, activating in response to diverse stimuli to facilitate the movement of ions and solutes across biological membranes.
Malaria is a significant disease in Africa, certain countries in Asia, and Central and South America. In 2022, malaria infected approximately 233 million people and caused 608,000 death.
A lipid bilayer is a vital component of the cell. It is selectively permeable, allowing only ions and organic molecules to pass through. Ions and solutes are transported by membrane transporters. Dysfunction of such proteins can lead to physiological disorders.
Discover the capabilities of the new Precision Fermentation Facility that has been established at RSB, including an overview of the equipment, its capabilities and potential applications.
Toxic accumulation of phenylalanine underlies the neurological deficits and morbidity in phenylketonuria (PKU). Despite availability of treatment options for PKU patients, high unmet need remains for safe and convenient therapies that work across a broad cross section of PKU patients and allow for diet normalization.
