Department of Mathematics & Applied MathematicsResearch Report 2006(Including the General Relativity and Cosmology Research Group, the Laboratory for Formal Aspects of Computer Science (FACS-Lab), the Marine Resource Assessment and Management Group (MARAM), the Rangeland Modelling Group, and the Topology Research Group) Head of Department: Associate Professor Christopher Gilmour Departmental Profile The Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics houses a number of research groups and individual activities which, in total, cover a large part of the mathematical spectrum. Examples are: cosmology and relativity, computational and applied mechanics, marine resource assessment and management, rangeland modelling, formal aspects of computer science, topology and category theory, nonlinear mathematical physics, functional analysis, cryptography, string theory, financial mathematics and algebra. The Department has active research collaboration with other groups in the country and abroad. There is a strong postgraduate program, with over 40 M.Sc. and Ph.D. students in a variety of fields. A number of staff has NRF A-ratings and B-ratings. The Department has a good technical and administrative infrastructure, and regularly hosts visitors from abroad.

Namibian Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources. Department of Molecular and Cell Biology Research Report 2006 Head of Department: Professor Jill Farrant Departmental Profile The Department has interests and expertise in diverse areas of biology. The problem of desiccation in plants is being tackled by a combination of physiological and molecular approaches. The role of cell wall proteins in stress in yeast is being investigated. Plant biotechnology research is focussed on developing virus-resistant and drought-tolerant crops, and improving transgene expression. Signal transduction in Arabidopsis thaliana is being studied during plant-pathogen and plant-insect interactions, as well as in the control of flowering time. Eukaryotic gene expression projects include the role of chromatin modifications in regulating the onset of flowering and the regulation of gene expression during neuronal differentiation and stress. Evolutionary genetics projects focus on the evolution of neutral DNA markers to address population-genetics questions. Molecular virology studies focus on the expression of antigens from human papillomaviruses, HIV and other viruses in plants and in insect cells for use as human and animal vaccines, and on the genetic diversity and molecular biology of single-stranded DNA viruses. Physical-biochemistry techniques are used to study the self assembly of DNA sequences into nano-structures. Structural studies are being carried out by electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography on a number of proteins and viruses, including glutamine synthetase, members of the nitrilase superfamily and human papillomavirus, to obtain insights necessary for rational drug, vaccine and industrial enzyme design. Research in marine biotechnology includes studies on the immune response of the abalone (Haliotis midae), the bacteria involved in abalone nutrition, and the stress response systems in the marine alga, Gracilaria gracilis. Research in microbiology includes molecular-genetic investigations of industrially and medically important anaerobic bacteria such as Corynebacterium, Bacteroides fragilis, Bifidobacterium and the fibre-degrading bacteria in the ostrich gut. South African soil and marine actinomycete bacteria are being screened for novel antibiotics. The Department also runs an analytical facility (amino acid analysis, DNA sequencing, DNA synthesis, DNA microarrays, MALDI mass spectrometry and protein sequencing).
