Congratulations to Elliott Neal who won the annual ANZPRA New Investigator Award at @reproductionsrb.bsky.social in Perth! Well-deserved ☺️👏👏

Recently, we held our annual scientific meeting in Fremantle. Big thanks to @cwyrwoll.bsky.social and the LOC who organised an incredible program for us! We heard about some amazing pregnancy research happening in our community ☺️ and created a beautiful collaborative placenta artwork 🧑‍🎨

@cwyrwoll.bsky.social kicking off #ANZPRA2025 ! It’s going to be a fun 2 days ☺️ if you post, be sure to tag us!

@reproductionsrb.bsky.social @anzpra1.bsky.social A beautiful talk this morning from @kirsty-pringle.bsky.social on the importance of consumers in research - not just involving them but having them lead the research direction 🤰

To those joining us at @reproductionsrb.bsky.social, be sure to come to our two ANZPRA-sponsored sessions today! 1:30-3pm SRB-ANZPRA New Investigator Award, River View Room 5 3:30-5:30pm SRB/ANZPRA Joint Symposium, Meeting Room 8

A shout out to various members of my team who have been spending way too much time recently in dark basements imaging bits of placenta with the new lightsheet microscope (with much troubleshooting) and processing the resulting datasets… but the results when it works! 🤩 @anzpra1.bsky.social

The placenta could be the key to solving stillbirth. Why? @dranyaarthurs.bsky.social explains at our free event, co-hosted by Healthy Development Adelaide (HDA). Register now 👉 events.humanitix.com/tick-tock-in...

1/ 🚨more publication news from the lab! Thanks to my FWF funded project we got to look at the Piezo1-TRPV4 duo, 2 ion channels in the placenta that help regulate endothelial function. Spoiler: They're not quite BFFs in early-onset preeclampsia (EPE). Let’s unpack the science!🧬
