Honorary groups

Altin Group - Tumour immunology and liposome targeting group »

The Altin group on tumour immunology and liposome targeting.

Badger Group - Photosynthetic functional genomics »

The Badger Group is focused on understanding the ways different photosynthetic organisms have adapted to efficiently fix CO2, where CO2 is a limiting substrate.

Photosynthesis and plant energy biology

Behm Group - Nematode molecular biology »

Led by: Carol Behm

We use powerful biological resources provided by C. elegans to study aspects of nematode biochemistry, molecular biology and behaviour, and control methods.

Callaghan Group - Human disease and membrane transport »

Led by: Richard Callaghan

Our research focuses on understanding the contributions of membrane transport processes to disease and overcoming their impact in treating disease.

Chow Group - Thylakoid structure and function »

Led by: Wah Chow

We investigate the structural organization of the thylakoid membrane; electron flow in leaves; quantification of Photosystem II; and photodamage.

Chung Group - Biophysics of ion channels »

Led by: Shin-Ho Chung

We are developing a computational program to study the interaction between polypetpides (drugs, toxins, other large molecules) and membrane ion channels.

Membrane transporters and channels

Crisp Group - Plant systematics and biogeography »

Led by: Michael Crisp

Our research interests include phylogenetics and classification of Australian plants, origins, biogeography and diversification of flora.

Foley Group - Animal-Plant interactions »

Led by: William Foley

The aim of our research is to understand the ecology and evolution of interactions between plants and animals in the Australian biota.

Gordon Group - Population biology of micro-organisms »

Led by: David Gordon

We study the functional role and evolution of bacteriocins, the ecology and evolution of the Enterobacteriaceae, and the ecology and evolution of plasmids.
