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.
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.

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).
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.
