Researchers are a step closer to transforming a US$70 billion global diagnostic industry with new designer biosensors that “switch on"colour or electrical responses to drugs used in cancer, arthritis and...
A new Australian start-up involving Chief Investigator Professor Colin Jackson will ‘infinitely’ recycle plastic to help solve the global plastic pollution crisis. Enzymes that break down plastic to their core...
A new vision outlines how winemakers could have greater certainty over their vintages – and create technology with benefits beyond with the world of wine. How does one achieve the...
The building blocks of life-saving therapeutics could be developed in days instead of years thanks to new software that simulates evolution. Proseeker is the name of a new computational tool...
Congratulations to four of our Centre Members who have successfully secured an Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Projects 2022 grant. Professor Colin Jackson (Chief Investigator, ANU) has been awarded a...
Is it better for the body to synthetise proteins slowly and surely or with speed and less accuracy? That is one of the key questions in a new Aging Cell...
A radical bid to reverse evolution could see crop plants become disease-resistant and more productive – and it all relies on a clever change of gene address. In a Nature...
Tell us about your field of research My area of research focuses on small molecule production in microorganisms. I am using biosensors in massive mutant libraries combined in concert with...
By Anahit Peneysan Macquarie University node When I present a lecture to a general audience, I often start with the same slide. It is a blank slide, and I ask...
CoESB Chief Investigator Professor Kirill Alexandrov (QUT) is part of a team of international researchers that has discovered a coronavirus epidemic broke out in the East Asia region more than...
Chief Investigator Professor Kirill Alexandrov is leading a collaborative research project to mitigate the impacts of bushfire smoke on wineries and vineyards. Professor Kirill Alexandrov (QUT), Professor Markus Herderich (Australian Wine Research Institute,...
A new body of research, published in Nature Communications, suggests synthetic biology could help to better characterise complex microbial communities, unlocking their potential for industrial and medical biotechnology. Communities...
