Research HighlightsESKITIS INSTITUTE

The Eskitis Institute for Drug Discovery focuses on the search for, and development of, drugs and cell-based therapies.

The Institute is focussed on three disease areas:

• Cancer - Investigating the biological mechanisms associated with cancer and establishing pathways that can be manipulated to prevent this illness

•Neurological diseases - Exploring the causes of neurological diseases including Parkinson’s disease and related disorders

• Infectious Diseases - Focusing on diseases including malaria, sleeping sickness and tuberculosis, researchers search for new compounds with drug potential.

The Eskitis Institute uses a unique source of information called Nature Bank to carry out much of its research. Nature Bank is a collection of over 45,000 samples of plants and marine invertebrates. The Bank is shared with researchers around the world, who test the library to find new compounds that could be developed into new drugs.

Nature Bank is already being used to search for new drugs for malaria, sleeping sickness, cancer, Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, stroke, thrombosis, tuberculosis, HIV and Alzheimer’s disease.

GLOBAL CENTRE FOR EVIDENCE-BASED CORRECTIONS AND SENTENCING

The school of Criminology and Criminal Justice works closely with a range of government and community partners to improve knowledge and practice with

national and international leaders across many fields including:

• crime prevention

Tourist destinations and businesses can proactively prepare for climate change by decarbonising their operations and by understanding the current and future impacts of extreme weather events and changing climatic conditions.

• Tourism business in Asia Pacific - Taking the concepts of livelihood and business resilience as vantage points,

this strategic research program aims at contributing to two separate but interrelated bodies of knowledge about tourism businesses in situtations of rapid change and crisis, and the role of tourism businesses in livelihood strategies.

• Customer experience in tourism - This program focuses on developing a better understanding of how tourists experience and make sense of a range of interactive touch points in planning, consuming and evaluating tourism systems.

CENTRE FOR QUANTUM DYNAMICS

The Centre for Quantum Dynamics is aimed at understanding quantum dynamics, to develop new ways of controlling it and applying it to future technologies.

In 2012, researchers at the Centre took the first photo of the shadow of an atom using a super high-resolution microscope not available anywhere else in the world. In 2013 they captured new images of light bending around a single atom. These images could revolutionise humankind’s understanding of physics and how the world works.

Through sponsorship from the Griffith Climate Change Research Program, German PhD student Hannah R. Zulch has presented her research on psychological preparedness for natural disasters at 12 national and international conferences.

Currently based at Griffith’s Mt Gravatt and Nathan campuses, Hannah has thrived under her “expert supervisors” who along with the international student Advisors, she says, have provided her with “invaluable guidance and support” throughout her PhD studies.

Hannah will use her research, and recent personal experience of the 2011 and 2013 floods, to help people psychologically prepare for future natural disasters.

“Once I finish my PhD thesis, I hope to work with the Australian Government to optimise disaster preparedness in disaster prone regions,” she said.Hannah Zulch, Germany, PhD in Psychology and

Environmental Sciences, Nathan and Mt Gravatt

GRIFFITH ALUMNUS FINDS SUCCESS IN AUSTRIAAfter finishing his bachelor degree in his

native Colombia, Camilo Sanchez moved

to Brisbane to complete his Master of

International Business at Griffith. Camilo

said his time at Griffith was fundamental

in his future career. “The experience of

living abroad and getting along with so

many cultures while studying at Griffith

definitely opened my mind and broadened

my horizons,” he said.

After finishing his masters degree, Camilo

returned to Colombia where he started his

career working as a finance analyst with

multinational insurance broker, Willis.

“As I wanted to gain more experience

abroad and learn a third language, I took the

opportunity to move to Vienna, Austria and

stay with a friend I met during my Griffith

days,” he said.

There, Camilo was offered a position at an

international research institute, the Center

of Molecular Medicine of the Austrian

Academy of Sciences (CeMM). “At CeMM

I was responsible for the development of a

financial plan for a European Union project,”

he said.

Today, Camilo is still living in Vienna and

has just started a new role as Project

Controller at the Telecommunications

Research Centre.

“I was contacted in late 2013 to share my

success story with Trend Magazine, a very

important business magazine in Austria.

Each year they dedicate an edition to

success stories of high profile expats and I

was the youngest expat featured,” he said.

During his time at Griffith, Urban and Environmental Planning/Bachelor of Science (Environment) graduate Ethan Bowering completed two overseas experiences offered through Griffith Global Mobility. He went to the United Arab Emirates and spent a semester at the University of Hong Kong. ‘Being able to study and live abroad has been a fantastic experience and it has certainly been the highlight of my degree,’ he said.

Psychology student Jessica Luttrell from Chicago chose

to spend a semester studying at Griffith University’s Gold

Coast campus so she could enjoy the beach lifestyle.

Between classes, this study abroad student has been learning

how to surf, going skydiving in Byron Bay, and traveling the

East coast of Australia.

“I live on campus and really enjoy the range of organised

activities that are offered,” Jessica said, “and the beautiful

beaches are just a short bus ride away.”

Jessica hopes to come back to Australia to complete her

masters degree after completing her bachelor program back

home in the US.

Jessica Luttrell, USA, Bachelor of Psychology, Study Abroad on the Gold Coast

“My dream job is to become a sports psychologist working

with professional or even Olympic athletes and Griffith’s

School of Applied Psychology has a really good reputation

so I’m sure to receive the very best tertiary education here,”

she said.

children back home, has admitted she suffered from some

culture shock when she first arrived, but has now “eased into

the laid-back lifestyle with comfort”.

“Griffith has been very welcoming and really helped me

settle into my new environment. While it is evident Griffith

wants their students to study hard and succeed, there is an

underlying focus to enjoy their studies and life.”

They can take the form of adventures or challenges, or something else entirely. From stories about everyday life as a student and resident of sunny Queensland to overseas adventures, bloggers like Alina share the experiences that mould them in today’s global world.

Working in a Study Abroad Agency in her home country

of Russia gave Alina Mitina the chance to liaise with

numerous educational institution representatives from

around the world.

“Griffith was definitely the most appealing,” she said,

“When I was offered the chance to enrol in a masters

program at Griffith, I looked at the Gold Coast campus

location and immediately fell in love with it.”

“When I first arrived on campus, I didn’t know anyone

so I went to the Student Centre and met a whole heap

of really helpful and friendly Griffith Mates,” she said,

“So when I saw them advertising, I decided to join them

so I could meet new people and help new international

students as I’ve been in their shoes.”

Blogging for Explore presented another avenue

for Alina to share her experience and empower

other international students in their overseas

study journey.

BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT

After completing a Bachelor of Psychology in the Philippines, 21-year-old Louise Dyan Maribao chose to undertake her postgraduate studies in Queensland “because of the good reputation Griffith University holds worldwide”.

“The best things about my masters degree would have to be the multicultural classes, group discussions, and all the activities that are provided to give me insight into real life workplace scenarios,” Louise said.

“Griffith has been very supportive of my studies in terms of providing me with support services and workshops that I can take advantage of anytime I need them”, she said.

“This is important to me as I’m new to Australia and to Australian university life”. Once she graduates, Louise hopes to gain practical experience in human resource management in Australia – specifically in recruitment and selection.

“The teaching staff have been wonderful from the very first day of class as they are all very accommodating and always make sure that their students are provided with the best resources to enhance our learning”, she said.Louise Dyan Maribao, Philippines,

Irene Nuarin from the Philippines may only be in her second semester of study at Griffith University, but she is already an active member of the Nathan campus community.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity so, after a quiet first semester of only study and work, I decided to really make the most of my time here and have been proactively joining in on all offers to socialize and support others”, she said.

The Bachelor of Business – International Tourism and Hotel Management student has become an Event Manager for the Griffith Mates Program and recently organised a Global Buffet on campus.

“I was one of the key organisers of this fun event that was a welcome party for all the new international students – giving them the chance to socialise and meet new friends,” she said.

“I also volunteered as a Griffith Mate during Orientation Week and enjoy helping first-year students settle into university life at Nathan campus,” she said, “I always recommend they take advantage of the range of free student support services on offer”.

“By mid 2015, I will have completed my Bachelor of Business and will hopefully continue onto a masters degree here as I love studying, I love Griffith and I love Brisbane,” she said.

Undergraduate student Erika Menezes chose to study her double degree at Griffith University due to Griffith Law School’s reputation and the ability to combine her two interest areas of arts and law.

Under the tutelage of her honours supervisor, Professor William MacNeil, Erika is focusing her research in the interesting area of law and literature – in particular, how law is represented in Diana Wynne Jones’ Howl’s Moving Castle novels.

“Within both of my degrees, I have been lucky enough to have been taught by academics who are experts in their fields – most have an open door policy or are happy to arrange consultations, and are always welcoming and ready to help with questions and concerns.”

Along with her studies, Erika is an active member of Griffith’s Nathan campus community, volunteering as a student blogger for the University’s new international blog ‘Explore’, the Student Leadership Program with the Student Welfare and Liaison Office, undertaking student mentoring with the Griffith University Law Society, and as the Student Community Service Director for the Golden Key International Honour Society.

“I’m also a Griffith Mate and have been involved in student admin support and Orientation Week activities such as the Amazing Race,” she said.

Canadian student Taras Stojkovic graduated as a Civil Engineering Technologist from Humber College in Toronto before becoming part of the engineering program at Griffith University on the Gold Coast. “Due to the partnership between Griffith University and Humber College in Canada, I was able to get accredited 160 points and moved straight into the third year of Griffith’s Bachelor of Civil Engineering degree,” Taras said. The outgoing 26-year old is of half Serbian and half Russian descent, and studied in Serbia, Ukraine, Jamaica and Canada before coming to the Gold Coast where he is now in his fourth and final year of university. “Griffith is both welcoming and supportive to new students and I like that the campus is very multicultural,” Taras said.

Oscar Moreno completed a Bachelor of Industrial

Engineering in his home country of Mexico before coming

to Australia to undertake his postgraduate studies.

“I chose to study in Australia as I wanted to travel far away

from my home country and to practice my English,” he said.

The Master of Engineering student loves studying at

Griffith University’s Gold Coast campus because of the

weather, the friendly people and the proximity to the beach.

“I really enjoy the practical lectures and the emphasis on

team work in our course. The lecturers are always helpful,

Oscar Moreno, Mexico, Master of Engineering - Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management, Gold Coast

supportive and accessible – not just during class time but

via email as well.”

Oscar has joined the Griffith Mates program and is

thrilled to be able to help fellow Latin American students

on campus.

“Thanks to the experience of being a Griffith Mate, I now

know I want to work in the logistics of event management

as I enjoy managing and dealing with problems within that

topic,” he said.

Before studying at Griffith, Othman Almabrouk did four years of undergraduate study in environmental science, and worked for two and a half years as a technical lab assistant in his home country of Libya. Building on this knowledge, Othman enrolled in a Master of Environment Advanced (Environmental Protection) at Griffith’s Nathan campus.

“I was surprised by the quality of the advanced technology used in the classroom,” he said. “In my country, we just sit and listen to the teacher, but here we have projectors, interactive whiteboards and nice lecture theatres which help us to learn in a new, easy way,” Othman said.

As part of his studies, Othman completed several field trips off-campus where he got to put theory into practice. “I very much liked the practical parts of my studies at Griffith – getting to work in the real environment was the part I most liked about my degree,” he said.

Griffith graduate Lucy Smith turned her Bachelor of Environmental Design (Architecture) into an

exciting role with Cox Rayner—one of Australia’s top

architecture firms.

The firm is currently working on Griffith’s Gold Coast

campus Masterplan, designing innovative new buildings

and facilities. Cox Rayner also recently completed the

Sir Samuel Griffith Centre at Griffith’s Nathan campus

(see opposite).

Lucy Smith, Bachelor of Environmental Design (Architecture)**From 2014 this degree is called Bachelor of Architectural Design

As a school student, Lucy loved maths and art, and

felt studying architecture was the logical next step.

She chose Griffith at the place to pursue her interest

because of the University’s strong emphasis on

sustainability. ‘The degree mixes things like history

and environmental subjects with design,’ Lucy said.

Lucy believes sustainability in architecture is essential

because we need to find new ways to live. ‘We need

to consider our relationship with the environment

and reduce our impact on the planet,’ she said.

For Imrenjeet Kaur Darshan Singh from Malaysia, the chance to gain a foreign degree coupled with the high possibility of obtaining an Australian-based position after graduation drew her to study at Griffith University.

The Bachelor of Nursing student completed a Diploma in Nursing, gained a Registered Nurse qualification and worked in a clinic in Malaysia before applying to Griffith.

“Australian university degrees are internationally recognised, offering graduates global opportunities in their desired work field,” Imrenjeet said, “In addition, the quality of academic standards makes Griffith an excellent educational experience and an attractive study option”.

“Griffith’s Bachelor of Nursing has really broadened my perspective of quality of care for patients and, with Australia’s aging population, these skills will be very much in demand in aged care facilities across the country,” she said.

Imrenjeet has fallen in love with the Brisbane lifestyle and wants to stay in the city after graduation to become part of a team of “respected and respectful nursing professionals”.

“The practical elements of my studies have taken me to many hospitals, care centres and aged care facilities throughout Brisbane and I have found it very interesting getting to know different nurses from various cultural backgrounds and seeing how they adapt to nursing care in Australia,” she said.

“Griffith has changed my perspective on nursing and for this, I can’t thank the university enough”, she said, Imrenjeet Kaur Darshan, Malaysia,

Medical program alumnus Samarra Toby couldn’t be prouder of the growth of her alma mater. She was among the first cohort of Griffith medicine students to graduate in 2008, after the degree’s launch in 2005. Now a fully qualified general practitioner, Dr Toby says it was the Indigenous health program that attracted her to study medicine at Griffith. ‘It was a small cohort but we really benefited from the freshness of a newly launched program and the one-on-one time with lecturers,’ she said.

HUMANITIES AND LANGUAGES

After completing a Bachelor of Communication majoring in English Studies in Germany, Elisabeth Schoft applied to the Griffith Study Abroad Program to complete part of her postgraduate studies.

The 24-year-old from Mainz (near Frankfurt) is currently completing six months of her Master of Media Management with a focus on marketing at Griffith’s Nathan campus and admits university life is much more personal down under.

“My classes here are much smaller than they are back home and all my teachers know my name which is a great motivator and actually makes me work harder,” Elisabeth said, “My professors are quite demanding and I am constantly challenged and told to think outside the box, which is great!”

“Griffith really supports its international students,” she said, “I have lots of classes with international students and I really like that I’m in contact with lots of Australian locals as well as those from around the world”.

Elisabeth chose to study at Griffith University because of its interesting focus on marketing and business courses and liked the campus location close to Brisbane city.

Elisabeth says she has thoroughly enjoyed her time at Griffith University and has really appreciated the help she has received from the friendly Library Help Desk and Griffith International staff at the Nathan campus.Elisabeth Schoft, Germany, Study Abroad, Nathan

GRADUATES ACROSS THE COMMUNITY

If you’re engaged with any kind of music anywhere

From popular music to musical theatre or opera, from

jazz to chamber music, from vocal soloist to orchestral

member, our graduates are everywhere.

Freelance musician and guitar teacher Andrea Vocaturo from Italy is currently completing his PhD in Musical Arts (Jazz Composition and Arranging) at Griffith’s South Bank campus.

Having first moved to Brisbane in 2005 to study his Bachelor of Music at Griffith, Andrea’s passion for big sounds saw him relocate to New York City to study his Master of Arts in Music Performance at the Aaron Copland School of Music, Queens College.

Andrea is passionate about music and said he returned to Griffith to complete his PhD studies due to the strong relationships he had built with Griffith’s teaching staff during his time as an undergraduate.

“I am currently furthering my skills as a composer and arranger for large jazz ensembles and get great guidance from my supervisors at South Bank along with access to a full big band in order to rehearse and test my musical compositions and arrangements,” Andrea said.

Andrea’s material will be recorded in the state-of-the-art facilities at Griffith’s South Bank campus and he hopes to one day have the chance to perform his compositions around Australia and perhaps even throughout the rest of the world.

“I really enjoy being part of Griffith’s PhD cohort – I love the vibrant and supportive environment – and am so excited to be furthering my career in music,” he said.

SCIENCE AND AVIATION

After arriving in Brisbane five years ago, Shabnam started her studies in Australia at QIBT where she completed a Diploma of Biosciences. With her credit from QIBT, she entered the second year of a Bachelor of Biomedical Science at Griffith, which she completed before enrolling in her second undergraduate degree, a Bachelor of Forensic Science.

“I love how my program is structured”, Shabnam said, “we have around 250 hours of laboratory work and many group assignments that have helped me develop my teamwork skills.”

Shabnam is also impressed by the support she receives from her teachers. “I can always approach my lecturers and tutors easily if I need help – I have often made appointments and met them during consultation times to get extra assistance,” she said.

Despite studying at the Nathan campus, Shabnam works on the Gold Coast and loves the relaxed, beach lifestyle there. “The Gold Coast is a multicultural community with lots of activities to do during the holidays,” she said.

“Plus, the weather here is perfect – never too hot or too cold.”

International student Larissa Dirr came from Germany to undertake her PhD at the Institute for Glycomics on Griffith’s Gold Coast campus. Larissa is exploring the parainfluenza virus which can cause severe respiratory tract infections in children and results in many hospitalisations around the world each year. She wants to understand what makes this virus so aggressive, how it infects cells and, potentially, how to block the virus. There are currently no effective drugs or vaccines against the parainfluenza virus.

Larissa has a pharmaceutical science background, which is why she is so interested in drug discovery and development. She had considered becoming a doctor but enjoyed her work in the lab so much she got the research “bug”. Larissa chose Griffith because the Institute for Glycomics is one of only six such glycoscience facilities in the world, and the only one of its type in Australia.
