New hope for tackling drug-resistant TB 🦠 Chemists and infectious-disease researchers from the University of Sydney and Centenary Institute have created new cyclic peptide drugs that disable a vital bacterial protein, ClpC1, which helps Mycobacterium tuberculosis survive stress. Supported by Sydney Analytical & Sydney Cytometry, #USYD Core Research Facilities.

The Centenary Institute & @CureTheFuture announce a new philanthropic partnership to accelerate research into life-changing treatments for rare genetic diseases and cancers. centenary.org.au/news/centenary… #MedicalResearch #CentenaryInstitute #CureTheFuture

A new study - with the Centenary Institute's Executive Director Professor Marc Pellegrini as senior author - has identified that existing #HIV drugs can reduce transmission of the #HTLV-1 virus in mice, a first step toward possible treatment. Read more: wehi.edu.au/news/study-ide…

Microscope Monday! 🔬 This image entitled 'Waves of Positivity' was submitted by Jade Boland in our 2020 image competition. Description: In red you can see the outer lining of the #gallbladder, and in green is the mucosal folds within the gallbladder. #medicalresearch

Researchers at Centenary & @Sydney_Uni continue to work to combat #COVID19 & have a new vaccine candidate showing strong protection against multiple variants as the virus continues to evolve. #CentenaryInsitute #MedicalResearch #Covid #COVIDVACCINE centenary.org.au/news/new-covid…

Congratulations to @SethDevanshi who has been selected amongst the next cohort of @wildforstem leaders stepping into Board X Observerships - a unique opportunity designed to build boardroom capability and confidence for women and non-binary leaders in STEM. @ScienceAU

Scientists from the Centenary Institute & @Sydney_Uni have made a landmark discovery that advances scientific understanding of how therapeutic viruses interact with human cells. centenary.org.au/news/new-route… @syd_health @tourdecure_aus @nhmrc @CureTheFuture @NSWHealth @dhungel_bijay

Microscope Monday! This image entitled 'The Surface of Venus' was submitted by PhD student Cecy Xi in our 2020 Scientific Image Competition. This is a liver section stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The large circles are fat droplets. Magnification 100x #CentenaryInstitute

Microscope Monday! This image entitled 'Ice Flower' was submitted by Emma Zhang in our 2020 'When Art Meets Science' image competition. The image depicts E. coli bacteria growing in a dish, demonstrating a crystal-like structure, similar to frost formed in a window.

#NAIDOCWeek celebrations will be held across Australia from 6-13 July 2025 to celebrate & recognise the history, culture & achievements of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander peoples. At Centenary we also celebrate the First Nations people as the first scientists of this nation.

Microscope Monday! Description: "During the bushfires, when Sydney was covered in smoke... so was our Institute - outside and INSIDE!!! Once I realised that - I realised that the smoke would have made things visible, which normally are not - our lasers!" #CentenaryInstitute

Microscope Monday! This is a microscopic image of a liver during a viral infection. White blood cells are accumulating around blood vessels of the liver. The structural fibres that surround the blood vessels of the liver light up when excited by the microscope laser (blue).

Congratulations to Professor Mark Gorrell from the Centenary Institute’s Centre for Cancer Innovations, who has been awarded a Springer Nature Editorial Contribution Award celebrating his outstanding editorial work for the journal Scientific Reports. More: tinyurl.com/markgorrell

On 13th June researchers from our Centre for Rare Diseases & Gene Therapy volunteered at the @tourdecure_aus Snow Ball gala event. Since 2007, Tour de Cure has raised in excess of $150M & funded more than 1200 cancer projects leading to 197 significant scientific breakthroughs.

Microscope Monday! This image entitled 'Cascade' was submitted by Jonathan Teo in our 2020 "When Art Meets Science" competition. In this particular lobe of the brain, the arbour vitae points downwards, resembling a deluge cascading over the edge of a waterfall.
