Depression and other mood disorders are highly prevalent conditions that can have a significant impact on individuals, leading to disability and potentially reducing life expectancy by many years.
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, an increasing number of individuals have been experiencing the effects of long COVID. While the understanding of long COVID remains limited, it is thought that an underlying inflammation may play a significant role in driving the disease.
Single-molecule detection has opened an entirely new direction in life science research. The interaction between biomolecular components within a cell is complex and dynamic, with bulk analytical methods only able to provide averaging information, typically from multi-cellular samples.
From sunscreens to vaccines, most of the modern technology we rely on today is dependent on our ability to precisely manufacture complex molecules with precise chemical properties.
Yeast has long been a cheap and abundant ingredient in bread and beer and thanks to its unique chemical properties, it can now be used in diagnostic technologies that rival PCR testing for speed and sensitivity.
As we close the book on 2022 it is time to look at how far the AIBN has come during the year, and how we are setting ourselves up for an even bigger 2023.
University of Queensland researchers have pioneered a new chemical process to manufacture the molecules that are the building blocks for lifesaving medicines, vaccines and energy storage materials.
