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.

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.
Malaria is a major global health problem, with 247 million cases and 619,000 deaths estimated in 2021. Antimalarial drugs are critical for malaria treatment and eradication efforts.
Malaria is a devastating disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite. Due to the threat of emerging drug resistance, the current arsenal of clinically used artemisinin combination therapies and drug candidates undergoing clinical assessment may not be sufficient in eliminating the disease.
Homeostasis of the extracellular matrix is critical for correct organ and tissue function. Both the biochemical and biomechanical properties of the matrix contribute to modulating the behaviour of resident cells and are more than just passive bystanders.
How can we tell engaging stories about complex biological processes that are invisible to the naked eye?
Scientists utilise a variety of techniques to investigate and visualise membrane receptors (gatekeepers of information) that transfer signals across membranes.
