Congratulations to Kat Holt, Spencer Williams and Eric Reynolds upon receiving NHMRC funding.

For a week in June, I was no longer a student bound by books and constantly in a classroom setting. Instead, I had become a research scientist at Bio21, surrounded by million-dollar cutting-edge biotechnology.

Today an MOU was signed between the University of Melbourne and the University of Zagreb to facilitate research collaboration and PhD pathways.

Bio21 is open on Saturday & Sunday this weekend as part of the City of Melbourne's 'Open House' weekend.

Bio21 Researcher, Dr Diana Stojanovski, has unlocked important information that could lead to improved treatment of a rare and serious genetic condition, Senger's Syndrome.

In a world of growing energy needs, and a global imperative to halt carbon emissions, a tiny ‘quasiparticle’ called an exciton could provide the answer to our problems.

To a child, soil is just dirt – a home for worms. To a gardener, soil is a collection of organic matter and nutrients. But to plants, soil is a hotbed of chemical activity. And plants don’t just observe, they actively participate in this activity.

Next time you’re racing out of the house without cleaning your teeth, think again. Neglecting your pearly whites can lead to a lot more than the odd filling.
