Research specialisations and labs
Gene therapy, gene delivery and nutrigenomics - Chan
Our focus is on developing novel non-viral gene delivery vectors with nuclear and mitochondria targeting abilities for gene therapy.
Nematode genetics - Grant
Our lab is focussed on the development and application of tools to elucidate and manipulate gene function in parasitic nematodes of mammals.
Molecular regulation of stem cells and cancer - Hart
Dr Hart is an early career researcher with a growing local and international reputation for research excellence in the field of molecular regulation of stem cells and cancer, focusing on the transcription factors that control pluripotency and lineage commitment in embryonic, germline and haematopoietic stem cells.
Biological anthropology - Mitchell
Our research seeks to understand human origins and migrations over the last 100,000 years focusing on Southeast Asia and Australasia.
Molecular ecology and evolution - Murphy
My research is aimed at understanding the biology and population dynamics of poorly dispersing organisms in natural and artificially fragmented ecosystems.
Ecological, evolutionary and conservation genetics - Murray
My research focuses on the involvement of genetic change in response to climate change, and genetic approaches to managing natural populations.
Stem cell growth and differentiation - Somers
We investigate the complex molecular mechanisms that regulate stem cell biology.
Molecular biodiversity - Strugnell
Our lab investigates summer mortality in abalone, evolution in Antarctica, molluscan evolution and toxicity in cephalopods.
Molecular evolution in Australasian marsupials - Westerman
My research interests centre primarily on the reconstruction and understanding of the phylogenetic relationships of Australasian marsupials.
