The University of Queensland is hosting an International Women’s Day 2020 breakfast featuring our inspiring UQ staff and alumnae who are leading the charge to ensure a diverse collective of voices shape the future of health and environmental sciences globally.
Discover how Professor Brett Collins is determining how the dysfunction of molecular mechanisms is contributing to disease at the next series of 'Meet the Researchers'.
Associate Professor Kate Schroder will discuss her research and how it may affect a 13-million global death rate during the 'Meet the Researchers' series.
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.
Discover Professor Naomi Wray's research on the development of quantitative genetics and genomics methodology with application to psychiatric and neurological disorders in the next series of 'Meet the Researchers'.
Associate Professor Ana Travern will discuss her research fungal pathogens - including the emergence of superbugs - 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.
