10.01.2022 Lions Australia is a volunteer organisation with over 1300 clubs. Because our volunteers agree to pay a small annual membership fee, all funds raised by our clu...bs go directly to the people who need them. Our clubs are currently rallying together to support those affected by the recent bush fires - so if you buy a sausage sizzle, drop some coins in a bucket or make a donation to the Australian Lions Foundation appeal, you can rest assured that your money will be going directly to the cause and will be helping to rebuild the communities who have suffered the most.

09.01.2022 Lions Medical Research Foundation (LMRF) has a commitment to the SPARQ-ed (Students Performing Advanced Research Queensland) program which is a unique education...al facility founded as a partnership between the University of Queensland Diamantina Institute and the Department of Education and training located within the Translational Research Institute (TRI) in Brisbane. Students from around Queensland are offered opportunities to participate in week-long programs that allow them to conduct an experimental project in conjunction with one of TRI’s world renowned biomedical research groups. This flagship service offered by SPARQ-ed is open to all senior year 10, 11 and 12 students and teachers throughout Queensland. Student participants are selected through an application process via their school. Applications consist of a section where the applicant writes to stated criteria (interest in science and previous experience working on science related projects) and consideration of the applicant’s academic performance. All applications are verified by a school staff contact. For each research immersion program, a project is designed which can be carried out by the participants over the course of five consecutive days. The project aim is normally to perform research to answer a question which is connected to the work of the contributing group. If all goes according to plan, the work done by the participants should be able to contribute to the work of the research group. These programs are conducted in a dedicated teaching laboratory on the ground floor of TRI, under the supervision of a Coordinator (an experienced registered science teacher) and tutors drawn from TRI’s post-graduate students. In past projects, participants have used advanced cell and molecular biology techniques to create gene constructs used in research into metabolic disorders and prostate cancer, create libraries of mutated versions of genes important in molecular virology and cancer research, cloned segments of genes involved in the regulation of the cell cycle and observed the localisation and function of important proteins within cancer cells. The techniques used included the polymerase chain reaction, site-directed mutagenesis, genetic recombination and transformation of bacteria, DNA sequencing and fluorescence and confocal microscopy. In carrying out these techniques, participants learn how the theory they learn in the classroom is put into practical use.
