1/2 In work published this weekend, Children's Medical Research Institute's ProCan® team and collaborating cancer researchers have uncovered new clues in the proteins of pancreatic cancer that could help clinicians detect the disease earlier and choose the best treatments for each patient.

We are incredibly grateful to Dr Michelle Lorentzos, Advanced Therapeutics Medical Lead at The Sydney Children’s Hospital Network, for taking the time to speak at Children's Medical Research Institute last Friday.

Today at Children’s Medical Research Institute, staff gathered to mark R U OK? Day. R U OK? Day reminds us of the importance of looking out for one another and taking time to connect. At CMRI, every employee matters.

Congratulations to Dr Pragathi Masamsetti and our Embryology team for receiving front page of Developmental Cell @cellpress.bsky.social this week. The knowledge gained through this publication enriches our understanding of early human development. Read more here: doi.org/10.1016/j.de...

We’re proud of our researcher Dr Radek Szmyd who has received a 2025 University of Sydney Faculty of Medicine and Health Mid-Career Research Outstanding Publication Award - for Radek’s extraordinary work to understand why cancer cells die in different ways following radiotherapy.

Congratulations to A/Prof Pengyi Yang, Head of CMRI’s Computational Systems Biology Unit, on receiving Australian Research Council 2025's Future Fellowship! His project will use single-cell omics technologies to improve the study of cell programming. Read more here: www.arc.gov.au/news-publica...

We are excited to announce a groundbreaking study out in @natcomms.nature.com from #CMRI Dr Alex Sobinoff & team. They have discovered proteins that guide telomerase — opening doors to new treatments for #cancer, aging & genetic disease. Read more: www.cmrijeansforgenes.org.au/news/scienti...

There is still lots of time to donate. every $$ counts and contributes to the essential medical research being done at @cmri.bsky.social city2surf25.grassrootz.com/cmri/kate-g

Children's Medical Research Institute is thrilled to announce Her Excellency the Honourable Ms Sam Mostyn AC, Australia’s Governor-General, as our Patron. We were delighted to welcome Her Excellency to the institute today.

A new research group at CMRI, led by Dr Rebecca Poulos, aims to improve precision medicine for hard-to-treat #childhoodcancers. The Multi-Omics in Childhood Cancer group addresses urgent needs in diagnosis and treatment. www.cmrijeansforgenes.org.au/news/newest-...

CMRI is excited to announce that Dr Scott Cohen and Prof Tracy Bryan have won a $440,000 grant from @CCNewSouthWales for their work identifying two new drugs, known as telomerase inhibitors, that could work with chemotherapy to improve cancer treatment. www.cancercouncil.com.au/research-pt/...

The NSW Organoid Innovation Centre was launched this week by NSW Chief Scientist Prof Hugh Durrant-Whyte with partners @sydney.edu.au and @unsw.bsky.social. A very exciting time for #stemcell research with CMRI at the forefront of this work. Read more: www.cmrijeansforgenes.org.au/news/organoi...

Congrats to Pragathi Masamsetti and our Embryology team on their @Dev_Cell publication! Their study is the first to reveal how the embryo forms its head which is key to understanding the cause of craniofacial malformations. Read more: www.cell.com/developmenta...

Congrats to Prof Patrick Tam on receiving the 2025 @isscr.org Public Service Award! As a member of their working group, he has played a key role in refining guidelines for Stem Cell Research and Clinical Translation. We're proud to see Patrick's contributions recognised globally.

@thecesarelab.bsky.social at CMRI & Kyoto University have discovered the previously unknown “active’’ role that telomeres can play in avoiding #cancer. Now in Nature Communications @springernature.com: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Review from our lab out today: "Roles for the 3D Genome In the cell cycle, DNA replication, and double strand break repair." Written by @scientistkate.bsky.social, with her co-supervisor @piptaberlay.bsky.social and collaborator Mat Jones. www.frontiersin.org/journals/cel...

We’ve had another amazing discovery from our ProCan® team – this time impacting #throatcancer! This collaborative project has led to a way for scientists to predict patients who may experience a recurrence of a type of throat cancer. Read more here: doi.org/10.1158/2767...

Are you working in the non-animal technologies space? The Non-Animal Technologies Network (NAT-Net), including CMRI, aims to make groundbreaking discoveries in the field of medicine and health while developing and promoting alternative methods that reduce the need to use animals in research. 1/

🌟 Last Day of Lorne Genome 2025! 🌟 We are thrilled to have showcased the cutting-edge research facilities of Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) at this year's conference. Our services are driving groundbreaking discoveries in genomics and if you're at Lorne, stop by! 🧵

Two new research papers are out now showing how our ProCan team is developing methods for analysing the proteins in cancer, to provide clinicians with the data that will assist in tailoring treatment. #cancer #proteomics #medicalresearch #datascience www.cmrijeansforgenes.org.au/news/researc...

We are excited to announce that @cellbankaus has partnered with the @EBiSC_cells to enable our Oceania-based customers to access over 950 induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines representing over 45 different diseases. Learn more here: ebisc.org #iPSC #EBiSC #StemCellResearch
