  • Architecture as a Driving Force for Change
    The La Trobe Institute of Molecular Science will be housed in a new multi-purpose scientific facility designed to change work habits in University teaching and research. Traditionally scientists were recruited to teach science in universities on the basis of their research strengths and provided with a laboratory to do their research and train research students. This has led to a bunker mentality. With the funding of LIMS, La Trobe University is exploring the future of science teaching and research by coming up with a building design that will provide a hub for a number of disciplines working in a shared environment where world class research and research training can occur alongside and in shared space with first class laboratory teaching.

  • Neglected Diseases in the Developing World
    Economic and social development, not to mention quality of life, in developing countries are constrained by many factors, including disease. For many of these diseases there are effective interventions that would alleviate much or most of the disease – we know how to help but choose not to. For those diseases where there are no or poor interventions available, the pharmaceutical and medical technology industries have chosen not to develop new and better interventions because there is no money to pay for them – no profit. In both cases, not helping is a deliberate choice based on self-interest in the developed world.
