Coulson Group
Barbara’s group uses the techniques of virology, immunology, biochemistry and molecular biology to understand at the cellular and molecular level how rotavirus infects host cells, and how rotavirus and other viruses affect the development of type 1 diabetes.
-
Dunstan Group
Sarah’s group is using host and pathogen genomics to better understand infectious diseases. They perform genome-wide association studies of the host, genomic studies of the pathogen, and investigate the interaction of both genomes in tuberculosis, enteric fever and malaria patients.
Other work areas include:Malaria, Tuberculosis
-
Mackenzie Group
We investigate the intracellular replication of Flaviviruses and Noroviruses, to understand how replication influences cellular functions and immune dysfunction. In particular the influences viral replication imparts on metabolic and stress pathways that ultimately lead to immune regulation and dysfunction.
Other work areas include:Dengue
-
Robins-Browne Group
Research in Roy’s laboratory is partly focused on how E. coli causes diarrhoea, with the aims of identifying better ways to diagnose, treat and prevent these infections. Another theme is the development of new types of antibacterial agents.
Other work areas include:Immunology, Antimicrobial Resistance
-
Thorley Group
The National Enterovirus Reference Laboratory plays a principal role in the clinical and laboratory investigation of cases of polio-like illness (acute flaccid paralysis) and the characterisation of poliovirus in Australia and the WHO Western Pacific region.
Other work areas include:Emerging Infections
