It sounds like something straight out of sci-fi, but scientists can now 3D-print living cells 🤯 In the future, we'll be able to 3D-print entire organs, predicts bioengineer Professor Adam Perriman from @JCSMR and the ANU Research School of Chemistry. science.anu.edu.au/news-events/ne…
🎙️ On 21 May, ACT RNA Club hosted Blueprints of RNA Research: A Founders’ Dialogue at ANU’s Research School of Biology. Leaders from RSB, JCSMR & CSIRO shared their science, stories & passion for RNA. 🎥 Missed it? Watch the full seminar here: youtube.com/watch?v=GwaD1n…

“Genetic mutations are like the rain that all genes must endure—they are constant and unavoidable. However, not all genes, and the proteins they encode, are equally well waterproofed,” says A/Prof Dan Andrews, whose team looked at every possible mutation in the human proteome.
AI-powered protein models combined with genome sequencing technology could help scientists better diagnose and treat genetic diseases, according to new research from @JCSMR and the ANU School of Computing. Read more: science.anu.edu.au/news-events/ne…
