Amber Condell likes stories - both hearing them and telling them. That’s why she likes studying genetics.
A study led by researchers at ANU could lead to new treatments for combating drug-resistant malaria, as well as boost existing drugs.
In fiction and popular culture, parasitic characters appear as a metaphor for the threat and spread of disease.
My group focuses on understanding the function of integral membrane transporters and receptors from a structural perspective.
Professor Geoff McFadden has been awarded the Ralph Slatyer Medal for research in understanding the malaria parasite.
Stefan Bröer is looking for the right molecule for a biological target, that could be developed into a drug to treat diabetes. Now ANU has its own library of compounds, available to biological and medical researchers, managed by the Research School of Chemistry.

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.
Regeneration is the natural ability to restore or replace damaged or lost body parts following severe injury. Regenerative abilities vary strongly across and within most bilaterian phyla.
DNA stability is a prerequisite in many of its applications, ranging from DNA-based vaccine, data storage to gene therapy. However, the existing strategies to enhance the DNA stability are ineffective and limited in scope.
Synthetic chemistry and synthetic biology offer complementary tools for manipulating the 3D architecture and function of biomolecules. I will outline two different projects that exemplify our hybrid chemical biology approach, highlighting divergent applications in catalysis and cancer therapy.
