Honorary groups
Find out more about our honorary groups.
The Altin group on tumour immunology and liposome targeting.
The Badger Group is focused on understanding the ways different photosynthetic organisms have adapted to efficiently fix CO2, where CO2 is a limiting substrate.
We use molecular tools to investigate many aspects of coral biology including comparative genomics, development, stress responses and calcification.
We use powerful biological resources provided by C. elegans to study aspects of nematode biochemistry, molecular biology and behaviour, and control methods.
We investigate the structural organization of the thylakoid membrane; electron flow in leaves; quantification of Photosystem II; and photodamage.
Current work focuses on cooperative breeding of superb fairy-wrens and woodswallows.
Group research topics include insect physiology, salt and water regulation; locust and grapevine scale biology, and environmental physiology.
We study relating photosynthesis to nitrogen; CO2 diffusion within leaves; analysing how plants acclimate to their light environment.
The aim of our research is to understand the ecology and evolution of interactions between plants and animals in the Australian biota.
Howitt group explores how transporters function and aim to understand their molecular mechanisms.
We investigate the molecular basis of disease and disease resistance in tomato (leaf mould and Fusarium wilt resistance) and flax (flax rust resistance).
We are investigating diverse epigenetic mechanisms in the context of behaviour and developmental plasticity, mainly using the honey bee model.
The Masle group's central interest is on the interplay between genetic and environmental determinants of plant development and adaptation to stress.
The Price lab is presently focusing on the molecular biology and physiology of photosynthesis in cyanobacteria (blue-green photosynthetic bacteria) and plants
Our research focuses on identifying molecular and biochemical bottlenecks.
We investigate the molecular mechanism of the O-antigen modification in S. flexneri by studying the structure proteins responsible for these changes.
We are investigating aspects of carbon acquisition by plants including the biochemistry of CO2 fixation and regulation of CO2 diffusion into and within leaves.
We are interested in insect navigation and the sensory, neural and behavioural adaptations that underpin navigational competence in insects.
