Cracking the cancer code: How a revolution in DNA sequencing is transforming our understanding of cancer |
|
|
|
Cancer is a disease where the cellular software code – the genome – is corrupted. The code can be corrupted by deletion of large segments of DNA, point mutation, amplification, or chemical (epigenetic) modification. Identifying the spectrum of genetic changes in a cancer cell and understanding how they interact has been a major focus of cancer research for over thirty years.

Australian Bionic Eye in view |
|
|
|
The development of a locally developed bionic eye is a step closer to becoming a reality as a result of Australian Government funding announced this week.
Bionic Vision Australia will receive $42 Million over four years for the development of this life-changing technology. The consortium members are the University of Melbourne, the Bionic Ear Institute, NICTA, the Centre for Eye Research Australia and the University of New South Wales.
Bionic Vision Australia Chairman, Professor Emeritus David Penington AC says the consortium is honoured to have been selected by the Australian Research Council for this funding.

Brain modelling and brain-inspired computing |
|
|
|
Professor Anders Lansner, Stockholm Brain Institute
 There are many synergies between the fields of information science and technology and that of brain and neuroscience. Advanced software tools as well as equipment heavy in informatics are employed extensively in brain research. One set of tools allow us to model the brain and perform multi-scale simulations on high performance computers. Such simulations enable understanding of psychological phenomena in terms of mechanisms at the neuronal level which will be useful, for example, in the design of new drugs.
