Dev Chauhan gave an oral presentation for the second year in a row at Sassy2026 (Sydney Surfaces And Soft Stuff) at UNSW on May 13, 2026. Selected for an oral presentation, he talked about his work on RNA capture and retention in lyotropic lipid mesophases. Keep it up, Dev!
Dr Jonas Kaltbeitzel scores again with a Fellowship from the Big Questions Institute. Jonas will use this Fellowship ship to collaborate abroad with McKeague lab at McGill University in Canada. Congratulations, Jonas!
A/Prof. Fahrenbach gives a recorded talk with the Origin of Life Early-Career Network (OoLEN) discussing the challenges of getting funding in astrobiology when just starting out as a new PI. Check it out!
Jonas Kaltbeitzel with help from Fahrenbach Group members Luke Marshall and Teja Senthilkumar publishes his first article on RNA dynamic covalent chemistry. Looking forward to seeing what you have next in the pipeline, Jonas!
The dynamic duo, Jonas Kaltbeitzel and Dev Chauhan present their recent work at the SUPRAMOL26 Conference at Monash University. Their talks highlighted ongoing research on RNA ligation and the interactions of chiral lipids with RNA. Fantastic!
Dev continues his great Australian tour, giving another oral presentation at the Australasian Colloid and Interface Symposium (ACIS) in Glenelg, South Australia. Amazing!
Jonas Kaltbeitzel wins big with $51,000 from the NSW-RRTN Strategic Fund for his project “Engineering an Inosine-Specific RNase for sgRNA Synthesis and RNA Modification Mapping“. We are expecting great things from you, Jonas!
Congratulations to Joe Cao on completing his Masters degree!
Dev is on a conference role, presenting a poster about chiral lipid-RNA interactions at the Sydney Biomolecular Condensate Symposium. Keep up the momentum!
Dev Chauhan attends the Geological Society of Australia Earth Science Student Symposium held at UNSW giving a talk on some of his work in the dynamic encapsulation of ribose-borate complexes within lipid vesicles, winning an award for best oral presentation! Excellent job, Dev!
