On the origin of sex differences in gene regulation. Animals and humans have different traits depending on sex, such as manes present only in male lions. Many sex differences are not visible, such as in internal organs. All human organs display robust sex differences in molecular profiles, but the reason for these differences is not known. To determine whether sex differences arise due to differing sex chromosomes or differing hormones, the team developed a highly innovative rat model that can answer this. This project will elucidate which factors, sex chromosomes or hormones, drive sex differences in molecular regulators across multiple tissues, and during development, revolutionising the fundamental understanding of the origin of sex differences in mammals. Field of research: 3105 - Genetics Traits differ greatly between male and female animals, such as the mane of male lions. Despite sex differences in biology, research has historically focused on males or overlooked sex differences. This has limited our understanding of biology in both sexes. All mammalian tissues have vast sex differences in their instructions (mRNA) and building blocks (proteins), impacting cellular functions, metabolism, and physiology. The problem is we don’t have the ability to identify if a sex difference is caused by sex chromosomes or by sex hormones, as they are inherently linked (XY=testes=testosterone). To address this problem, we developed an animal model that uncouples sex chromosomes and sex hormones (XX males and XY females) and use cutting edge technologies to pinpoint which of these cause a sex difference. This first-of-its-kind developmental atlas will transform our understanding of when and how sex differences emerge, persist, or change across the lifespan. Our team is well-placed to build research capacity in this space, with Australian groups interested in our model to study cognition, cardiovascular function, ageing and sex chromosome function. This research will benefit beyond academia, potentially informing Australian wildlife conservation strategies by understanding sex-specific vulnerabilities. Defining sex-specific mechanisms will deliver economic and social benefit by encouraging future researchers to incorporate sex variables, advancing equity in Australia.

Uncovering divergent hydrogen-dependent methane metabolism in novel Archaea. This project seeks to reveal broad new insights into non-traditional methanogens, by studying their enzymes and ecological roles in detail. By applying cutting-edge cultivation, structural biology, and multi-omic analyses, this project expects to unveil unique physiological strategies for methane production in non-traditional methanogens and their wider ecological roles relative to well-studied traditional methanogens. Expected benefits include basic knowledge on biological methane production, development of new tools for bioprospecting and comparative genomics of these ecologically relevant organisms, and knowledge of their ecology in wetlands and coal bed methane wells, which are high methane flux habitats. Field of research: 3101 - Biochemistry and Cell Biology Methane producing microbes (methanogens) control global emissions of methane, a potent climate-active gas and energy source, making them critical in addressing climate change and bioenergy production. While methanogens were long thought to belong to one traditional group, environmental samples showed evidence of many non-traditional methanogens, yet none were cultured, severely limiting our understanding of them. Addressing this, I obtained world-first cultures of three non-traditional methanogens, exhibiting unique physiologies not found in traditional methanogens. This highlights clear gaps in our understanding of methanogens while also offering a unique opportunity to address these large knowledge gaps. This project aims to use cutting-edge computational, laboratory, and microbial ecology methods to provide the first in-depth studies of the enzymes and ecology of these new methanogens. Project outcomes will improve our ability to harness methanogens to convert agricultural and industrial waste to methane and play key roles in wastewater treatment. This could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve waste recycling, and make bioenergy production more efficient, directly aligning with Australia’s goal of net-zero emissions by 2050 and participation in the Global Methane Pledge. Project outcomes can also inform national and local agencies, policy makers, and industries on how methanogens can be best used to protect the climate and produce clean water and energy.

Understanding Gravitational Interactions in the Hearts of Galaxies. This project explores how stars and black holes evolve and collide in the dense centres of galaxies, producing powerful cosmic events. By modelling their interactions with gas discs and star clusters, the project will generate knowledge about the origins of black hole mergers and nuclear transients using advanced simulations and upcoming data from gravitational waves and electromagnetic observatories. Its significance lies in creating a unified framework—aligned with the Australian astronomy decadal plan—linking stellar evolution, gas dynamics, and these extreme phenomena. Expected outcomes include precise models that improve predictions of mergers and transients, advance astrophysics, and enhance public engagement with space science. Field of research: 5101 - Astronomical Sciences This project investigates how stars and black holes in galactic centres evolve, interact, and merge, producing powerful cosmic events such as gravitational waves and energetic outbursts. By modelling their interactions with gas discs and dense star clusters, it will develop a unified framework linking stellar evolution, black hole dynamics, and transients—aligning with the Australian Astronomy Decadal Plan’s focus on interconnected astrophysical processes. The research will bridge significant and timely gaps between gravitational-wave observations (LVK) and upcoming large-scale surveys (Vera Rubin Observatory), reinforcing Australia’s leadership in high-energy astrophysics. The project will provide broad benefits to Australians by advancing expertise in computational modelling, a field with applications in finance, engineering, and AI. The study of black hole mergers and stellar evolution will deepen the understanding of fundamental physics while inspiring public interest in space science. Strengthening Australia's role in global space research, this work will contribute to future technological advancements and international collaborations. To maximize impact, findings will be shared through media outreach, public lectures, and citizen science programs. Research outputs will be made accessible, supporting STEM education and ensuring long-term societal and technological benefits, reinforcing Australia's position as a leader in astrophysical research.
