Research groups
Our research is aimed at uncovering the genetic and genomic basis of morphological complexity in animals, from both developmental and evolutionary perspectives.
The Altin group on tumour immunology and liposome targeting.
The Brock lab loves membrane proteins; looking at them in atomic detail, discovering new drug molecules, and engineering them to create new biosensors. Join us!
Broer group studies the role of amino acid transport in the onset of insulin resistance and the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism.
The Casarotto Group seeks to carry out research that explores how the structural properties of biological molecules can impact on the biological process.
Corry group's research examines the structure and function of membrane proteins.
We are working on a very simple and inexpensive cancer immunotherapy treatment, and a bioinformatics study looking for novel proteins in different genomes.
We aim to identify new potential targets for antibacterial agents, using structural biology, biochemistry and bacteriology methods.
Howitt group explores how transporters function and aim to understand their molecular mechanisms.
Our research interests lie at the interface between biology, chemistry and physics
We study membrane transport processes in the Plasmodium parasites that cause malaria.
We study how autotransporters are assembled into bacterial outer membranes, and how they function to mediate infection and disease once they get there.
The Maier Group focusses on the identification of molecules involved in malaria pathogenesis and transmission.
We are investigating diverse epigenetic mechanisms in the context of behaviour and developmental plasticity, mainly using the honey bee model.
The Saliba Group is investigating vitamin utilisation pathways in the red blood cell stage of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum.
The Spry group focuses on validating new drug targets and identifying new drugs to combat key pathogenic microbes responsible for human disease.
We study the basic biology of parasites, with the hope that such knowledge can be used in developing new treatment options against these formidable foes.
We investigate the molecular mechanism of the O-antigen modification in S. flexneri by studying the structure proteins responsible for these changes.
