Torn between fine art and science, Associate Professor Elizabeth Hinde tried both, before finding her dream role in studying the nuclear architecture of living cells

There are trillions of cells in the human body, and researchers are developing new mathematics to understand how they work

Researchers discover that a type of immune cell can cannibalise the properties of other cells, creating the potential for harnessing them for new therapies and vaccines

Seeing our invisible DNA architecture reveals that our genome is much more than a linear code, but rather an ever-changing blueprint

By understanding how cells communicate, we can get insights into how all forms of multicellular life first came to exist and the origins of some of the diseases that still affect us

Recent genetic research has identified a surprising vulnerability of lymphoma cells that may lead to a new approach for cancer treatment

New research exploring our body’s inflammation response to malaria could open up new avenues for treating chronic viral infections and autoimmune diseases like HIV

Australian scientists have developed a world-first compound that keeps cells alive and functioning when they otherwise would have died

Tissue engineering can restore damaged or lost tissue in the human body, and biomedical engineers are working to one day scale up the technology to regenerate entire organs

By blocking a cancer cell’s access to the ‘fuel’ it needs to grow, researchers hope to develop a new therapy for prostate cancer
