Recently, renal denervation (removing the renal nerves) has been shown to be an effective and safe treatment for human resistant hypertension and is...
Supervisor: Professor Katherine Denton
Tumours lose features of multicellularity, such as tissue differentiation and coordinated cell division, and start to resemble colonial unicellular...
Supervisor: Dr David Goode
Cancer follows an evolutionary process shaped by the environment of the tumour. Deciphering which genes and processes enable tumour cells to adapt to...
Supervisor: Dr David Goode
Our laboratory aims to create new knowledge in host-pathogen interactions driven by intracellular bacterial pathogens. Our research team has projects...
Supervisor: Professor Hayley Newton
Mapping the topography and the conditions of indoor/outdoor terrains is an important ongoing research area, as terrain mapping is required for safe...
Supervisor: Don Samitha Elvitigala
This project uses spatial proteomics and transcriptomics data to map locations of immune cells within the vicinity of paediatric and adult brain...
Supervisor: Dr David Goode
Antibiotic resistance continues to emerge and intensify. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a promising alternative to current antibiotics, but...
Supervisor: Professor Mibel Aguilar
The laboratory is interested in the transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms that govern cell identity, in particular pluripotency and the...
