COST-effective and environmentally-friendly odour removal for industrial use will soon be available, thanks to novel biotechnology from Murdoch University researchers.

UNLISTED Perth company iCeutica says it has cut its first deal with a major pharmaceutical company for the use of its 'SoluMatrix' reformulation platform.

PROFESSOR Trevor Marshall from Murdoch University’s School of Biological Sciences and Biotechnology says that not only do many people harbor serious misconceptions about the nature of vitamin D, they also misunderstand its role in human health.

PERTH researchers are working to mimic the way salts and fluids pass through the cells of the human body in order to develop better and cheaper ways of making drinking water through desalination.

The Centre is headed by Federation Fellow Professor Steven Smith and is affiliated with The University of WA. COE-PM is a world-leading centre for research in understanding the regulation of carbon partitioning and in discovering genes that direct partitioning. The discoveries made can be applied in crop improvement programs, to enhance yield potential and product quality in crops of socio-economic importance to Australia.

 

The principle aim of the Centre is to discover and characterise molecular components and control mechanisms that drive energy metabolism in plants. This will provide resources and knowledge to improve crop plant performance in WA, particularly in marginal environments and in response to climate change. The research will provide the means to enhance the yield and nutritional value of a range of agricultural products.

 

The Centre’s mission is to lower the burden of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) in the community and to enhance the quality of life in the individuals suffering from, or affected by the disease. The Centre has focussed research into diagnostics and biomarkers; lifestyle interventions; clinical trials and therapeutics; and population-based health outcomes evaluation.

A NON-TRADITIONAL approach to producing new drugs using the venom of arthropods is powering the research behind biodiscovery firm Proteomics International.

SCIENTISTS at the Optical & Biomedical Engineering Laboratory (OBEL) at UWA are developing tools to aid in the fight against diseases such as cancer and Multiple Sclerosis, and in the treatment of burns and conditions of the airway.

A WA student’s use of nanotechnology to research retinal detachment treatment has won her a national accolade.

THERE'S a popular saying about human health that ‘you are what you eat’. In the fish world, this saying may be ‘you are where you’ve come from’.

THE discovery by Western Australian and German scientists of bacteria thriving in oil reservoirs 2km below the Earth could hold clues to life in the deep biosphere – and on other planets.

A WA STUDENT has received an international prize for his studies into the physiology of chitons, a type of primitive marine mollusc.

SCITECH and The Royal Society of WA brought together a panel of WA scientists to discuss how plants and micro-organisms can be used to reverse some of the damage humanity has caused to the environment in the seminar 'Our Toxic Wastes - plants and bacteria to the rescue'.

SWITZERLAND-based Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative (DNDi) will fund a Murdoch University driven collaboration to fast-track the development of new drugs to treat Chagas disease.

PROFESSOR Andrew Thompson has mixed feelings. He and his team are elated at being close to signing a multi-million dollar deal with a Swiss-based organisation to develop a drug to counter a life-threatening disease affecting millions of people.
