This week our PhD student @phenylauraline.bsky.social & Post-Doc Dr @jasmineleighb.bsky.social presented their work at the Australian New Zealand Obesity Society (ANZOS) Meeting held in Perth! 👩🏻‍🔬 #WomeninSTEM

Started off the week in Perth at the Australian & New Zealand Obesity Society Annual Meeting presenting my work on novel ceramide synthases & their anti-obesogenic effects. Had a great time at ANZOS and exploring Rottsnest Island, home to the extremely friendly and fluffy quokkas! #WomeninSTEM

Our Lab Head, Nigel Turner, showing off our ongoing projects at the UNSW's School of Biomedical Sciences and Health Sciences Research Info Night 🧑‍🔬 Looking forward to meeting many keen and aspiring scientists in the making! 🤩

Thrilled to share my recent work on subcellular ceramide distribution at @aomsc2025.bsky.social’s Young Scientist Forum in Ishigakijima, Japan! 🇯🇵🗾 Looking forward to many great discussions this week 👩🏻‍🔬 Come visit my poster (34) on Monday morning! #AOMSC2025 #TeamMassSpec #FemalesinMassSpec

Judging a bake-off is a piece of cake for our group leader 🍰. Now back to the lab to check our blood sugars... @victorchang.edu.au 🧪

Huge congrats to Prof Nigel Turner, Dr @sarahehancock.bsky.social + Dr @charlesdcox.bsky.social who’ve been awarded funding from NSW Health's CV Research Capacity Program for projects to target aortic stenosis, obesity + diabetes: www.victorchang.edu.... @cellbioenerglab.bsky.social

Our group leader Prof Nigel Turner was interviewed for the Guardian earlier this week, discussing the hype and hope for NAD+ boosters as anti-ageing therapeutics. Read what he (and our collaborator A/Prof Lindsay Wu) had to say about it here: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... 🧪

Great work from our PhD candidate @phenylauraline.bsky.social representing @victorchang.edu.au at the March NSW CVRN rising stars seminar yesterday 🧪👩🏻‍🔬

Some more behind-the-scenes from our lab photoshoot yesterday, featuring @phenylauraline.bsky.social and @sarahehancock.bsky.social 🧪👩‍🔬

Our latest collaborative work with Lindsay Wu from UNSW medicine is now available online in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. In this work we were able to show that CD38 mediates nicotinamide mononucleotide base exchange www.jbc.org/article/S002...

Check out the latest preprint from our lab group, where we show targeting lipid metabolism can sensitise pancreatic cancer cells to gemacitabine-based chemotherapy. Congrats to our postdoc @sarahehancock.bsky.social for pulling this one together.

Congratulations to our PhD students @jasmineleighb.bsky.social and @phenylauraline.bsky.social for sweeping the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute Paul Korner seminar student awards this year. Jasmine took out the best talk overall and Laura was voted people's choice. 🧪👩‍🔬.

We're thrilled to have been awarded a #NHMRC Ideas grant to develop new treatments for obesity. We are actively recruiting a PhD student to work in this space, so please get in touch if you would like to know more. www.victorchang.edu.au/news/nhmrc-g...
