24.01.2022 Congratulations to the 2020 #NobelPrize winners in Physics. Prof Sir Roger Penrose has a strong connection with The University of Western Australia. Sir Roger is responsible for the invention of the tiling pattern in the foyer of our Bayliss Building. Sir Roger visited us in 2007 and signed a tile. https://www.ox.ac.uk//2020-10-06-oxford-mathematician-roge

22.01.2022 Congratulations to five researchers at The University of Western Australia who have been awarded almost $2.05 million in Federal Government funding. Dr Cat...ie Gressier UWA School of Social Sciences - to carry out the first Australia-wide study of rare breed farming. Dr Hugh Wolgamot The UWA Oceans Institute - to investigate design waves and develop this concept into a method for establishing safer and more efficient offshore systems. Dr Ben Grafton UWA School of Psychological Science - to investigate the cognitive basis of anxiety-linked heightened negative expectancies. Dr Emilie Dotte-Sarout UWA School of Social Sciences - to investigate the scientific lives of women in the development of a particular discipline; using Pacific archaeology as a case study. Dr Sajesh Thomas UWA School of Molecular Sciences - to develop methods in quantum crystallography to accurately estimate the electronic properties of molecular crystals. See more

14.01.2022 Congratulations to recent PhD graduate, Dr Alina Naveed from the UWA School of Human Sciences and UWA School of Molecular Sciences, for her recent paper publish...ed in Springer Natures Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences. You can read the paper : https://bit.ly/3cboQb6 The team devised a unique antisense oligonucleotide technology to bind to NEAT1, a long non-coding RNA studied comprehensively in the Fox Lab. This technology halts the growth of aggressive neuroblastoma cells in culture. Their promising research contributes to the emerging field of RNA Therapeutics. With further development, this anti-cancer drug target could one day help young infants and children diagnosed with this devastating childhood cancer. Alina worked with her supervisor Associate Professor Archa Fox and co-authors from the Childrens Cancer Research Institute in Sydney and Murdoch University.
