Welcome to a diverse mix of amazing research. Dr Adam Hagg informs us of the importance of maintaining muscle mass while Dr Yasmine Lam discusses her research on using biotechnology to build a more secure and sustainable food system.

Muscling up – preserving muscle to support healthy living

Adam Hagg (The University of Queensland)

From storing energy to facilitating breathing, movement and posture, skeletal muscle is the powerhouse of the body. We will discuss the importance of maintaining healthy muscle mass through ageing and in the event of chronic disease.

Engineering smarter crops for an uncertain future

Yasmine Lam (The University of Queensland)

How do we build a more secure and sustainable food system with the rapidly changing climate we're experiencing today? Here we discuss some of the biotechnological tools we're using to enhance our crop systems, and how we are bringing them together to address this multi-faceted problem.
