Summary: Shipwrecks of the Roaring Forties: a maritime archaeological reassessment of some of Australia's earliest shipwrecks. This project will evaluate new ways of investigating the history of Europeans in the Indian Ocean by using the latest technology to evaluate seven Western Australian shipwrecks excavated over 40 years ago. The project will work with emerging technologies to study these significant sites and collections.

Despite the acknowledged National Heritage significance of the Dampier Archipelago's petroglyphs and stone features, there has been little research which assists in knowing when, why and how this art was produced.

Despite the acknowledged National Heritage significance of the Dampier Archipelago's petroglyphs and stone features, there has been little research which assists in knowing when, why and how this art was produced. This landscape was occupied and art was produced both before and after sea level rise c.8-6,000 years ago. Developing a reliable chronology of occupation will allow a reconstruction of the role that art played in land-use systems of the Archipelago and adjacent Abydos Plain. This aims to be achieved by targeting and analysing landscapes associated with the earliest art of the Archipelago. The second aim is to explore contemporary social connections to this place back to first contact with historical seafarers and colonial settlers. Read more Read less

Summary: Aquatic chemo-modulators: a novel source for potent molecular probes. This project aims to investigate peptides that modulate prey behaviour. Chemical signalling constitutes much of the language of life underwater.

Aquatic chemo-modulators: a novel source for potent molecular probes. This project aims to investigate peptides that modulate prey behaviour. Chemical signalling constitutes much of the language of life underwater. Certain cone snails evolved a hunting strategy, where they release potent peptides to modulate fish behaviour through yet unknown mechanisms. The snail then expands its mouth and eats the fish without resistance. This project will investigate the mechanisms at play using transcriptomics, proteomics, peptide synthesis, behavioural pharmacology and nuclear magnetic resonance. This will advance the knowledge of aquatic chemo-modulators on a functional, structural and evolutionary level, and provide a source of molecular probes with unique pharmacology and applications in human physiology, developmental biology and aquacultures.

We will carry out the first-ever systematic investigation of a novel process, where a single organism mediates complete ammonification and ammonia oxidation, directly connecting organic- and inorganic nitrogen. By revealing metabolic pathways, characterising ecophysiological properties, isolating key microorganisms and exploring their application potential, this project will change our fundamental understanding of global nitrogen cycling, improve the sustainability of water management, and contribute to the circular economy transition Read more Read less

This project aims to develop advanced methods to compute n-point correlation functions in two-dimensional integrable models. The project expects to use recently discovered connections with topological strings to compute currently-inaccessible conformal blocks in conformal field theories, and their analogues in integrable massive field theories and statistical mechanical models. Expected outcomes include explicit expressions for the n-point correlation functions, advances in the theory of topological vertices and the related representation theory, and new solutions of the Yang-Baxter equations. This should provide benefits that include a better understanding of two-dimensional integrable models and their deep connections with topological strings. Read more Read less

Understanding biological pathways underlying social behaviour in humans. This project aims to show for the first time how oxytocin interacts with neural social and reward pathways to guide social behaviour. Oxytocin is a natural neuropeptide and hormone that has a critical role in the regulation of social behaviour across mammalian species. In animals, direct evidence demonstrates how endogenous and exogenous oxytocin interacts with social and reward neural pathways to alter social behaviour, including social recognition, relationship formation, and long-term bonds. The project intends to use radio-labelling techniques in combination with positron emission tomography to track oxytocin and show what regions of the brain oxytocin impacts to then influence social cognition and behaviour in humans.

The human journey across the globe is one of our greatest achievements, yet the archaeological evidence for the earliest migrations is poorly dated, plagued by uncertainty and often overlooked. This project aims to characterise the nature of early human dispersals across Asia en route to Australasia by going beyond the timing and identification of human evidence to explore their behaviour, health and adaptability. Reconsidering early migrations within their environmental context will allow an assessment of their feasibility and address the disparity between the genetic and physical evidence. By elucidating the story of the greatest human journey we will develop a new understanding and appreciation of our survival and adaption capabilities. Read more Read less

The oxytocin and vasopressin receptors are part of a 600 million year old signalling system that is widely distributed in the kingdom of life. It is involved in many fundamental physiological functions, however we still lack a complete toolbox of selective probes to delineate the individual receptor subtypes. This project aims to introduce a novel and innovative strategy that uses state-of-the art discovery techniques to identify selective ligands in nature. Leads will be developed into molecular probes to facilitate in-depth studies of this system. This strategy is applicable to other systems and the outcomes will contribute to a significant advancement of knowledge in chemical biology. Read more Read less
