• Infectious disease diagnostics
• Development of new platform technologies for detection of infectious agents

Professor Barnard¹s research encompasses infectious disease diagnostics, antibody engineering, phage display and development of a new multiplex microsphere real-time PCR based platform technology for detection of infectious agents. The assays have been developed for Influenza A, flaviviridae, and banana streak viruses. He has active collaborations with Dr. Andrew Gearing (Ecosciences precinct, QAAFI), Dr. Pat Blackall (Ecosciences precinct, QAAFI) and Dr Ala Lew-Tabor (QAAFI , Centre for Animal Science)

Dr Jacqueline Batley joined the University of Queensland as a Research Fellow in 2007 and was awarded an ARC QEII fellowship in 2008. Since this time she has established the Batley lab and become a centre associate of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Integrative Legume Research, where the Batley lab is based and enjoys many successful collaborations.

Her current research activities include Brassica and blackleg genome sequencing, SNP marker development and genotyping, blackleg resistance gene identification and genetic diversity analysis. Jacqueline Batley also has projects in soybean and lotus genomics with CILR, as well and wheat and chickpea genome sequencing with Prof. Dave Edwards.

Research Interests
• Plants as model genetic organisms
• Role of RNA interference and epigenetics in regulation of gene expression, and response of genomes to the environment
• Genetic and molecular approaches to identify and clone key plant genes involved in gene silencing. particularly interested in genes involved in intercellular RNA signalling, and how these affect plant development and plant defence against viruses and transposons
• We are also investigating in the role of intron splicing in regulation of gene silencing and gene expression

Research Interests
• Giant tropical grasses – including sugarcane and sorghum – are of much interest being among the fastest growing plants.
• A major impediment to sustainable crop production is that most are environmentally unsustainable: inefficient use of fertilisers (N, P) causes off-site pollution, jeopardies the integrity of natural ecosystems and human health and produces greenhouse gases.
