Embryo genomics for engineering change. The proposed research program will contribute to areas that are critically important for Australia, such as agriculture, animal biodiversity, biomedicine, human health and biosafety. By addressing the high economic losses due to early embryonic mortality in farm animals, results from this research will enhance the competitiveness of Australian agriculture and biomedical research. The establishment of a world class research Centre for Animal Biotechnology a ....Embryo genomics for engineering change. The proposed research program will contribute to areas that are critically important for Australia, such as agriculture, animal biodiversity, biomedicine, human health and biosafety. By addressing the high economic losses due to early embryonic mortality in farm animals, results from this research will enhance the competitiveness of Australian agriculture and biomedical research. The establishment of a world class research Centre for Animal Biotechnology at the University of Adelaide will create a major addition to the national research base. The Centre will develop technology platforms to support various groups across the entire Australian scientific community.Read moreRead less
The New Paradigm of International Migration to and from Australia: Dimensions, Causes and Implications. Population movement to and from Australia is undergoing a major transformation but much thinking about immigration in Australia remains based on paradigms of the past. Yet debates such as those on immigration's contribution to national population size and growth, the significance of skilled migration, the response to asylum seekers, undocumented movement and the role of temporary versus settle ....The New Paradigm of International Migration to and from Australia: Dimensions, Causes and Implications. Population movement to and from Australia is undergoing a major transformation but much thinking about immigration in Australia remains based on paradigms of the past. Yet debates such as those on immigration's contribution to national population size and growth, the significance of skilled migration, the response to asylum seekers, undocumented movement and the role of temporary versus settlement migration have increased. This study identifies emerging trends of migration, examines global and domestic drivers of the movement in the context of developing migration theory, explores the economic, social and demographic consequences and draws out the implications for immigration and population policy.Read moreRead less
