IMB Friday Seminar

Professor Christian P. R. Hackenberger will discuss the chemical modification of functional proteins as well as their cellular delivery.

Professor Vera Gorbunova will discuss the mouse model that show increased healthspan and lifespan, and will describe the role of SIRT6 in mediating longevity across mammals and in human centenarians by improving DNA repair and silencing transposable elements.

Professor Amy Keating will describe features of Bcl-2 family protein interactions and discuss approaches that integrate computational structure-based modeling with high-throughput screening to generate peptide-based inhibitors.

Associate Professor Stuart MacGregor will describe his insights into gene mapping and how it offers fascinating insights into disease biology and translational opportunities.

Professor William Lubell will describe synthetic methods, conformational analyses and biological assays to gain insight into the structure-activity requirements and to enhance the therapeutic potential of linear and cyclic azapeptide CD36 modulators for treating macrophage-driven inflammation.

European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) group leader Theodore Alexandrov will discuss his research into discovering links between metabolism, cell states, metabolic plasticity and reprogramming on the single-cell level.

Associate Professor Makrina Totsika's work is at the forefront of anti-virulence drug research and development, which are promising to offer effective and superior therapeutics for common bacterial infections that are no longer treatable with antibiotics. She will discuss "Bacterial Virulence: the superbug’s Achilles’ heel?"

Associate Professor Denise Wootten will be discussing her research on class B G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are important therapeutic targets for metabolic diseases.

Professor Kathy Andrews will discuss her research is shifting the paradigm on drugs that may help the millions of people who suffer the potentially fatal effects of malaria.

University of Birmingham's Professor Nick Loman will discuss recent progress in developing a real-time genomics-informed outbreak system focused around real-time Oxford Nanopore sequencing methods.

IMB group leader Associate Professor Frédéric Gachon will discuss his research into circadian rhythms in the next seminar of IMB Friday Seminar.

Associate Professor Ana Travern will discuss her research fungal pathogens - including the emergence of superbugs - in the next seminar of IMB Friday Seminar.

Professor Trevor Lithgow will discuss his research into the rise of antimicrobial resistance in the next seminar of IMB Friday Seminar.

Join Professor Peter Macdonald as he explains his research into preservation strategies to decrease the risk of heart injury for the process of transplantation.

Professor James Whisstock will discuss his research in the next session of the IMB Friday Seminar.

RMIT University Vice-Chancellor's Research Fellow Dr Kylie Quinn will discuss how she tracked the loss of CD8 T cells over the course of ageing.

Professor of Structural Biology and ARC Laureate Fellow at the School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences Professor Bostjan Kobe will discuss his research focus of on applying structural biology approaches to understanding proteins involved in infection and immunity.

Professor Ross Hannan, Head of the Department of Cancer Biology and Therapeutics at John Curtin School of Medical Research at the Australian National University, will discuss the role of the nucleolus in development and cancer in IMB's latest Friday Seminar.
