A$33 million research complexopened on Monday, July 15 is

the new home for a UQ researchgroup pioneering vaccines againstcervical cancer and genital warts.

The vaccines were developed byresearchers in UQ’s Centre forImmunology and Cancer Research(CICR), headed by Professor Ian Frazer.

The CICR, which has grown to a70-staff member organisation in 10years, is the major occupant of theresearch complex at PrincessAlexandra Hospital.

Queensland Premier Peter Beattie,Health Minister Wendy Edmond,Minister for Innovation and Inform-ation Economy Paul Lucas, and Educ-ation Minister Anna Bligh, opened TheCentres for Health Research.

The Centres will house 140scientists mostly from UQ andPrincess Alexandra Hospital,undertaking world-class research ina variety of fields.

Mentoring programThe transition from study to

work has been made easier

through a UQ Alumni MentoringProgram launched in June.

Initiated by the DevelopmentOffice with help from StudentSupport Services, the pilot-program will see final-year stu-dents mentored by experiencedprofessionals in the fields ofsocial work, economics and arts.

“The program is an excellentway for alumni to contribute tothe development of other grad-uates and aims to strengthen tiesbetween the University, success-ful alumni and the businesscommunity,” said DevelopmentOffice Director Margaret Burke.

Deputy Vice-Chancellor(International and Development)Professor Trevor Grigg officiallylaunched the program onWednesday, June 26, in the new$20 million UQ Centre.

The six-month semi-structured program will includeone-on-one workplace visits,professional networking andjob-shadowing.

The program will be

launched University-wide next

year, with plans already in place

to establish an E-mentoring

Program for international

students.

It is an umbrella organisation forresearch on the hospital campus, frombasic laboratory research through toclinical and health services research.

The groups include the LiverTransplant Research Group, BowelCancer Research Group, UrologicalCancer Group, Liver ResearchGroups, Therapeutics ResearchGroup and Renal Research Groups.

The building will also house theLions Laboratories previously locatedelsewhere on the hospital campus.

UQ Vice-Chancellor ProfessorJohn Hay congratulated the Queens-land Government, the PrincessAlexandra Hospital, the CICR andmajor sponsors including theAustralian Cancer Research Found-ation on the opening of the newdevelopment.

“The University is pleased to be apartner in this research facility, whichis a cornerstone in the developmentof a major biomedical precinct inconjunction with the QueenslandGovernment,” Professor Hay said.

“The proposed Green Bridge

linking the University’s St Luciacampus and Dutton Park willfacilitate further linkages between theCentres for Health Research atBuranda and major UQ researchcentres at St Lucia.”

Ten UQ PhD students are currentlyjoining researchers in projects at theCentre. Also located in the building isspinoff biotechnology companyCoridon Pty Ltd, which has beenresponsible for a $3.7 million researchand development contract with UQ’sCentre for Immunology and CancerResearch.

Coridon is licensing technologydeveloped by Professor Ian Frazer andthe late Dr Jian Zhou for identifyingand modifying genetic codes used inparticular cells in combining aminoacids for the production of proteins.

As part of the deal the University,through UniQuest, its technologytransfer company, obtained a researchcontract from Coridon that sees mostof these funds flow to CICR over thenext two years.

The Centres for Health Researchis co-located in conjunction withHerron Pharmaceuticals andImaginot, a pharmaceutical researchinitiative involving industry andacademic interests.

The Pharmacy Australian Centre ofExcellence will be located in landadjacent to the development. Thiscentre will bring together UQ’s Schoolof Pharmacy, the pharmacy professionand pharmaceutical companies.

UQ NE WS, juLY 20024

It is only a matter of time beforemen and women return to the

Moon and continue onwards toexplore Mars, according to one of thelast two men to walk on the Moon,Dr Harrison Schmitt.

“The Apollo program was amilestone in human history, and in thehistory of science, providing a firstorder understanding of a secondplanet,” Dr Schmitt told a Mayne Hall,St Lucia audience of 500 on Monday,July 15.

“In the history of technology,Moon landings vastly expanded ourability and our know-how. In thehistory of nations, it was anaccomplishment of young men andwomen largely in their 20s, whoproved you can do remarkable things.

“The Apollo program also demon-strated that human beings can live inspace. The resources of the Moon andMars provide opportunities for select-ive enclaves of permanent settlements.”

Dr Schmitt, a member of theApollo 17 mission in December 1972,one of only nine Moon walkers and

Moonwalker has Mars in sightsApollo 17 astronaut Dr Harrison Schmitt believes further exploration and utilisation of theMoon’s resources will provide the scientific springboard for a human mission to Mars.

the only career scientist to explore theMoon f irst hand, discussed hisexperiences as a geologist, astronaut,politician, businessman and academicat the free public lecture.

In an entertaining session, hetossed “moonrocks” (rubber balls) toaudience members and took questionsfrom many children.

Dr Schmitt and Eugene Cernanwere the last two people to explorethe surface of another world, while thethird mission member, Ron Evans,orbited above.

They travelled in the largest rocketever built, the Saturn V, and reachedthe Moon in the lunar moduleChallenger, exploring the Valley ofTaurus-Littrow.

“It was a valley of about 35, let’ssay 50 kilometres long, about 7kilometres wide and the mountains oneither side went to 2100 metres abovethe surface of our valley,” Dr Schmittsaid.

“These mountains and the surfaceitself were illuminated by a brilliantsun, as bright as any sun that you

might have experienced, but allagainst a background of the blackestsky you can image.”

During three EVA (Extra-Vehicular Activity) sessions totalling22 hours, they explored the Moon onfoot in their lunar rover.

Dr Schmitt said the Moon heldgreat promise. With only one-sixth

normal gravity, no breathable atmo-sphere and surface temperaturesranging from 110˚C to –180˚C, itnonetheless possessed resources andfeatures that could prove to be of greatvalue to Earth.

Resources included hydrogen andoxygen, which could be used to makewater and sustain life, and titanium.

Settlements on the Moon wouldallow Earth the technology to moveon to Mars.

The Apollo 17 astronauts returnedwith 113 kilograms of collectedsamples, but despite a “perfectmission”, the program was cancelledafter six moon-landings in just threeyears, due to politics and lack of mediainterest, according to Dr Schmitt.

Before the lecture, Dr Schmittvisited the Centre for Hypersonics,meeting Director Professor RichardMorgan, and received a briefing fromPhD student Jason Hoogland on theMars Gravity project in 2005 to pavethe way for human exploration.

He also met with Dr Allan Paull,HyShot program leader, who briefedhim about the project to test a scramjetin flight for the first time in the world.

This month’s unsuccessfulJapanese aeronautical experiment atWoomera is unlikely to cause delaysto the international HyShot program.

Dr Paull said his research teamhoped to conduct its experiment onTuesday, July 30, at the Department ofDefence’s Woomera Prohibited Area,500 kilometres north of Adelaide.

Dr Schmitt’s lecture was sponsor-ed by the University Alumni Associat-ion, Aviation Australia, UQ’s Centrefor Hypersonics and the Mars Society.

The hidden side of disabilityShe said the study would hopefully

contribute to the limited knowledgeand development of psychologicalservices for those with an acquiredinjury or disabling medical condition.

“While physical and rehabilitationsupport are available for Queens-landers with an acquired disability,psychological services are lacking incomparison,” Ms Furlong said.

“In the past decade there has beengrowing awareness of the psychol-ogical needs of people forced to adjust,often suddenly, to major changes inphysical abilities, identity, relation-ships, employment or study, socialactivities and future plans.”

People wishing to complete thesurvey should telephone 07 3365 5055or email: [email protected] and leave a name and address.Surveys will be sent out and returnedanonymously in pre-paid envelopes.

Master of Clinical Psychologystudent Michele Furlong hasexperienced chronic illness and livedwith a disability since the age of nine.

“I was diagnosed with an auto-immune illness that resulted in myimmune system becoming overactiveand attacking muscle tissue and spentthe majority of three years in hospitalduring the initial acute phase of theillness,” she said.

“Although the condition burnt outafter five years, I continue to haveweakness in all muscles groups, butespecially in my legs, which makes itimpossible to stand or walk.”

To coincide with Disability ActionWeek (July 15-21), Ms Furlong haslaunched a survey of people who nowuse a wheelchair or scooter as theirmain form of mobility and hopesmany will volunteer to provideinformation through a brief survey.

The layout features two computer-equipped meeting rooms, oneaccessible via the front desk area, aresource room, lockable space at eachwork station, kitchenette and a newspace-minimising filing system.

One of the Directorate’s roles is toprovide advice to new and prospective

international students on all mattersrelating to program admission.

“We work hand-in-hand with theStudent Centre on level one of thebuilding and it is important that thetwo areas remain close to each otheras well as provide a corporate imagefor the University,” said IED Financeand Administrative Officer ElizabethSoh.

John Hay said the televisioncommercial and associated campaignwould help reinforce to Queens-landers that one of Australia’s bestuniversities was right on theirdoorstep.

“With all the higher educationoptions now available, it is easy to losesight of the fact that Queensland hasin UQ an extraordinary facility thatis genuinely world class,” he said.

“UQ is one of the top threeresearch universities in Australia andit has won or been shortlisted for morenational teaching awards than anyother university in the country.

“In the 2002 Good UniversitiesGuide, UQ again received the bestoverall rating of any Queenslanduniversity and was the only universityin the state to receive the highestrating for getting a job, prestige,

student demand, research quantum,staff qualif ications and positivegraduate outcomes.

“Only three universities inAustralia received the top, five-starrating for staff qualifications in thisindependent consumer guide.

“The results reflect that ourgraduates go on to rewarding andinteresting lives and are in strongdemand by employers all overAustralian and abroad.”

Small really is beautiful whencontemporary Australian artists

are interpreted by “little people” aspart of an upcoming UQ ArtMuseum–Campus Kindy Art show.

Running from Saturday, August 17,until Sunday, September 22, Big Art –small viewer will feature children’sinterpretations of eight works from ninemajor Australian artists.

Over the past few months, smallgroups of children from CampusKindergarten have been attendingworkshops at the University ArtMuseum to view and begin preparingtheir own water paint, collage orpastel versions of eight works,ranging from photographs to oilpaintings to installations.

The “grown-up” artists are: MelindaHarper; Rosella Namok; William Yang;Rosalie Gascoigne; Michael Nelson;Jagamara; Michael Eather; Ruth Waller;and Colin Lanceley.

Their works were selected by ArtMuseum Exhibitions Officer PeterLiddy, Campus Kindergarten DirectorMegan Gibson and Pre-SchoolTeacher Nadine McAllister, as amongthose most likely to appeal to thechildren from more than 2000 worksin the University’s collection.

The children’s art works will bedisplayed with the “grown-up” artists’works and accompanying documentedmaterial about the project.

“This is a University community-based project that portrays children asrich and competent artists andindividuals,” Ms Gibson said.

The exhibition will be opened byMichael Beckmann, Acting Head ofEducation and Regional Services,Queensland Art Gallery, in UQ’s GreatCourt, on Saturday, August 17, at 2pm.

Pre-schoolers areproviding a differentperspective on somemajor works of art.

W ere large dinosaurs hot-blooded or cold-blooded? The

topic is examined in a new book,edited by UQ researchers.

Professor Gordon Grigg andcolleagues in the School of LifeSciences conducted an AustralianResearch Council-funded projectlooking at the implication of large sizeon body temperature in reptiles.

The work features in a new book,Crocodilian Biology and Evolution,edited by Professor Grigg, Dr FrankSeebacher and Dr Craig Franklin(Surrey Beatty and Sons, Sydney).

Because there are no extant dino-saurs to provide answers about theirbody temperatures, the researcherslooked at their closest living relatives,large estuarine or saltwater crocodiles,as models for their thermal relations.

Using radiotelemetry andbiophysical modeling, ProfessorGrigg, Dr Seebacher and Lyn Beardstudied 30 crocodiles weighing fromseveral kilograms to a tonne. Theydiscovered that the larger the crocodile,the more stable the temperatures.

However, these could still varyfrom season to season. The averagebody temperature tended to bewarmer as the size of the reptileincreased, but the scientists wereconfident crocodiles were withoutmetabolic heat production, such as inbirds and animals.

“The work has shown that verylarge reptiles could have had a warmand stable body temperaturethroughout the year, and at quite highlatitudes, without having a highmetabolism,” Professor Grigg said.

The book contains the proceedingsof an international scientific confer-ence on crocodiles held at UQ in 1998.

Thirty-five of the papers presentedat the conference led to manuscriptsaccepted for this volume.

Topics ranged from crocodilianpalaeobiology and phylogenetics tophysiology and ecology.

UQ has been a focal point forresearch on the Australian estuarinecrocodile for the past 15 years and thisprovided the stimulus for theconference.

The $500,000 bursary will assistDr Ellis in her research efforts tobetter understand the developmentof primary brain tumours andpossibly lead to improved treatmentregimes for patients and anincreased survival rate.

Dr Ellis will work in closecollaboration with researchers atBrisbane’s Princess AlexandraHospital and Canada’s Arthur andSonia Labatt Brain TumourResearch Centre at the Hospital for

Linda Bird has been appointedDirector of Student and

Administrative Services Division(SASD) and Secretary of theAcademic Board.

Ms Bird was formerly Director ofAcademic Administrative Supportand recently completed a 15-monthsecondment as Acting Director of theInternational Education Directorate.

She has worked extensively infaculties, departments and CentralAdministration, and has a broadgeneralist background with particularskills in management and teamwork.

SASD is a client-focused oper-ation supporting academic staff,students and central administrativeservices. It includes Student Admin-istration, Academic AdministrativeSupport, the Accommodation Unit,Chaplaincy Services, Health Service,Student Support Services and the UQIpswich Manager’s Office.

“SASD has a very broad role inhelping faculties and schools to

briefin

deliver the best-possible services tostudents,” Ms Bird said.

“We’re interested in everythingrelated to their academic progress,from admission through to gra-duation.”

Doing that eff iciently andeffectively required best-practicepolicies and strong, central corporatesystems, she said.

This included sophisticatedelectronic systems for fast sharing ofinformation, so that faculties, schoolsand administrative divisions couldshare responsibility for activities likebusiness transactions, exam and classtimetabling.

“The aim is a seamless service tostudents. And to achieve that, we needto optimise resources in a tightbudgeting environment,” Ms Birdsaid.

Sick Children, bringing togetherleading edge scientific and clinicalresearch expertise to understandthe formation of brain tumours.

Dr Ellis said the biochemicalpathway called Sonic Hedgehogwas pivotal to the development ofa number of cancer types.

“Specifically, my research isinvestigating which genes andproteins influence the SonicHedgehog pathway and howdisruptions to this pathway maylead to tumours,” Dr Ellis said.

The John Trivett Foundation forresearch into the causes of primarybrain tumours was established in1998 to commemorate and continuethe philanthropy of John Trivett, thefounder of Trivett Companiesincluding Brisbane BMW.
