Join us as we discover the hidden codes that shape our world: from cryptography that can ensure fairness online to epigenetics controlling our cells and bodies as well as the mysterious long non-coding RNAs shaping our learning.

Epigenetics: beyond the DNA code

Dr Allegra Angeloni (Research Officer, Garvan Institute of Medical Research)
Epigenetics is the study of how chemical and structural modifications to DNA control the diverse functions of all the cells that make up our body. But what happens when our epigenetics fail to properly regulate cell function, and how can we use this knowledge to develop treatments for diseases like cancer?

Cryptography for a Fair World

Dr Aravind Thyagarajan (Lecturer, University of Sydney)
Cryptography is the foundation for digital security in the modern world, protecting your personal information, and daily online interactions. But when it meets with game-theory we will see how it helps us achieve a fair world like never before.

Secrets of memory: A molecular story

Saba Altaf (PhD candidate, UNSW)
Your brain holds secrets beyond DNA and epigenetics. Deep inside, mysterious molecules called long non-coding RNAs are helping shape how we learn, remember, and think—without ever making a single protein. Curious? So are we.
