  • Using X-Rays to see the Small Scale
    X-Rays can be used to examine cells and viruses in great detail, and Professor Leanne Tilley and Assoc. Professor Andrew Peele of La Trobe University have been using them to examine and treat the Malaria virus, which still kills millions each year.

  • Examining Cell Death
    Humans have about a million billion cells. Every second of every day, over a million of them kill themselves. In fact, committing suicide is the ultimate fate of 99% of our cells. If cells fail to die when they should, they accumulate and can turn into cancers. On the other hand, if cells activate their self-destruct mechanisms when they shouldn't, it can cause damage of important tissues such as the heart and brain.
    Professor David Vaux is an ARC Federation Fellow from the La Trobe University Department of Biochemistry.
