Unravelling Molecular Mechanisms of SSA DNA Homologous Recombination. The repair of double-stranded DNA breaks is critical to the survival of all living organisms. One key process performing DNA repair is Single-Strand Annealing (SSA), which is a homologous DNA recombination pathway found in all life forms from viruses to humans. Despite its fundamental importance, the detailed molecular mechanisms of SSA and the structures of the protein complexes involved remain poorly understood. Our project aims to fill this critical gap by investigating the structural and functional mechanisms of the protein complexes carrying out SSA. Our project has far-reaching implications from enhancing the precision and efficiency of gene editing technologies to development of future anti-cancer and anti-bacterial therapies. Field of research: 3101 - Biochemistry and Cell Biology DNA has instructions essential for formation, survival and propagation of most life forms, including humans. Any damage to DNA must be repaired to prevent serious harm like genetic disorders, or death (e.g., cancer). One of the worst kinds of DNA damage is double-stranded DNA breaks, which must be repaired for genetic integrity and survival. A key pathway for repairing this damage is called Single-Strand Annealing (SSA), which is found in all life forms from viruses to humans. Despite its importance, the molecular mechanisms of SSA and the structures of the proteins involved remain poorly understood, preventing progress on important future discoveries. Our project will fill this critical gap in knowledge by determining the atomic structures of the bio-nano-machines carrying out SSA, and unravelling their molecular properties and detailed molecular mechanisms of how they repair damaged DNA. We will use state-of-the-art techniques like cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), molecular imaging, structural biology, computational biology, biochemistry and molecular microbiology. Our findings have far-reaching potential impacts in the future beyond academia. Translating our expanded understanding and ability to harness SSA into improving genetic engineering methods, targeting it in viruses for engineering novel therapies, or developing improved phage therapies to fight antibiotic resistant superbug infections, will greatly benefit Australia economically, socially and commercially.

FlexUnlock: Discovery of demand flexibility in residential buildings. This project aims to reduce energy costs and create demand flexibility (i.e. capacity of end users to change their consumption patterns) of Australian residential homes. It expects to generate new knowledge regarding demand flexibility using an interdisciplinary approach leveraging structured surveys, digital twin modelling, data analytics and machine learning. Expected outcomes include an open-source tool for raising awareness and accelerating demand flexibility in residential homes, data-driven forecasting models, and data-enabled predictive control strategies. It will provide significant economic and environmental benefits, improve energy affordability and security, and contribute to climate change mitigation and clean energy transition. Field of research: 3302 - Building In Australia, renewable energy is growing at a per capita rate ten times faster than the global average. While this rapid growth is vital for a sustainable future, it also brings new challenges, most notably, the increasing occurrence of negative power pricing, which poses a significant risk to investors. This project tackles that issue by enabling demand flexibility (the ability of end users to adjust their energy consumption) and unlocking its potential within residential buildings. The project will develop new load forecasting models, data-enabled predictive control strategies and an open-source decision support tool (FlexTalk) to raise awareness and accelerate the adoption of demand flexibility in residential homes. The research will benefit Australians in several ways, including reducing energy costs, creating sustainable jobs, and generating economic profits. It will provide compelling evidence to stimulate active participation of residential users in the demand flexibility market and protect the value proposition of rooftop solar. It directly supports Australia’s clean energy transition and drives deep decarbonisation in buildings. To maximise its impact, the project team will proactively engage with industry stakeholders to share findings, extend outcomes beyond academia, and accelerate real-world adoption. All research data will be published through open-access platforms, ensuring transparency, broad accessibility, and meaningful engagement with the wider community.
