Put together a mixture of biologists, biochemists and physicists and you might get a lot of blank faces, particularly when hard-core physics is being discussed. However physics and biology have come together to solve one of science's big issues - the structure of membrane proteins - through the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coherent X-ray Science.

It is with best wishes, an open mind and only a modicum of anxiety that we welcome the new era that swept Australia last November 24, when our collective soul dared to tear itself gently but firmly from the grasp of the elderly gentleman in the Wallabies tracksuit and hitch itself to the Kevin07 bandwagon.

US researchers have used computational biology to uncover the physiological states of the malaria parasite in patients' blood.

A clinical trial evaluating a vaccine in patients with newly diagnosed brain cancer has begun at the New York University Medical Center.

As it begins Phase IIa clinical trials, Mesoblast is riding high: its share price is climbing, its market capitalisation is booming and all that promise seems to be coming good.
