Research School of Biology
The ANU Research School of Biology (RSB) carries out research in a wide range of biological and biomedical sciences and oversees the University's Biology curriculum, with a diverse offering of courses across both undergraduate and graduate degrees.
Plant scientists Professor Graham Farquhar and Professor Susanne von Caemmerer transformed the world's understanding of photosynthesis, now they're receiving one of the Commonwealth's top honours for their research.
The trunks and branches of trees in Australia’s tropical rainforests – also known as woody biomass – have become a net source of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, according to a new international study.
An advanced filtration system inspired by nature that can recover untapped critical resources such as copper and lithium from mining waste is being developed by scientists from The Australian National University (ANU) in collaboration with Rio Tinto.
E&E Seminar Series: Replicated evolution, evolvability, and the mutational spectrum of antibiotic resistance in bacteria
The repeated, independent evolution of similar traits in different species is a fascinating phenomenon that affords deep insights into the relative importance of deterministic vs. stochastic forces in evolution.
E&E PhD Exit Seminar: New Phylogenetic Methods to Understand Hybridisation
Hybridisation events – together with other biological processes such as recombination and incomplete lineage sorting – can create gene tree discordance, where different genomic regions describe different evolutionary histories.
