Presentations from Dr Vicki Athanasopoulos and Mr Hao Wang
Evolution of rod and cone phototransduction (with a primer on molecular phylogenetics for neuroscientists) »
Emeritus Professor Trevor Lamb, The Lamb Group - Visual Neuroscience, The Eccles Institute for Neurocience, JCSMR, ANU
TIC Seminar - Desirable Properties of Models for Phylogenetic Analysis »
In this talk I will discuss which models have this property, and which don't. I will give some results from simulation studies that explore the consequences of lack of closure for phylogenetic inference in terms of both branch lengths and topological accuracy.
The Investigation of the host Haem biosynthetic enzyme HMBS as an antimalarial target »
Mr Hao Yang, The McMorran Group JCSMR.
How novel computer technology transforms bioinformatics analyses »
Dr Denis Bauer, CSIRO
Unravelling the Mysteries of Diabetes »
Our research shows that this is likely to lie within the insulin producing cells of the pancreas, or "the islet beta-cells of Langerhans.” Furthermore, the suspect pathway can be targeted by novel therapies.
Mapping cells in the mammary gland to understand breast cancer »
Professor Jane Visvader, The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Melbourne, VIC
Special Seminar: Compounds Australia: Drug Discovery Compound and Natural Product Logistics »
This short seminar will provide a few snapshots of “how” Compounds Australia can assist researchers within ANU and provide a short tutorial on CASPeR; Compounds Australia Stucture PoRtal.
Why don’t we run out of glutamate? The role of presynaptic glutamine transport »
Dr Sarah Hulme, The Billups Group, The Eccles Institute of Neuroscience, JCSMR, ANU
Mutational mechanisms and oncogenic switches in solid tumours »
It is now well established that a cancer’s mutational burden drives tumour formation, influences disease progression and can dictate sensitivity to chemotherapy.
