An opportune moment to remind students postdocs and PIs that, while not perfect, Australia is an attractive option for medical research.

If you ever asked yourself if cells remember their past (and I am sure you did), cell memory is one of the courses on this tasty menu! Some of the best scientists working on the subject will be there, both presenting and attending! Sign-up now, it's free of charge!

Our paper on nurturing a #PositiveResearchCulture within your #research #team published by @wellcometrust.bsky.social gives useful tips for your lab. As well as making you a good team leader, nurturing culture pays off in building your science: 1/11 wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/9-3...

If i did not have ties to Australia, i would be applying for this in an instant. The @arcinstitute.org model is inspiring and exciting!

🌟Keystone Cancer Immunotherapy conference 2025 🌟 Speaker Highlight #2 at #KSCancerImmune25: Dr. Ton N. Schumacher @nkinl.bsky.social will discuss how T cells detect tumors in “Dissecting T Cell Recognition of Cancer.” Don’t miss his cutting-edge immunology insights!

Not seeing the utility of 2 dimensional visualisation with UMAP is so one dimensional

Just over a year ago, we launched the Seattle Hub for Synthetic Biology with @chanzuckerberg.bsky.social and @uwmedicine.bsky.social. #SeaSynBio is focused on developing tech that could spawn tools that observe cells and intervene to treat disease in real time. 🔗 alleninstitute.org/division/sea...

Our preprint led by Nicole Michmerhuizen and Emily Heikamp showing the key role and targetability of the MOZ/MORF history acetyltransferases in high-risk NUP98-rearranged acute myeloid leukemia. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Yep, that summarises it.

We are beginning to understand how the full repertoire of inheritable units can affect phenotypic variability Beyond the main player - DNA sequence - transmitted chromatin, RNA, metabolites and proteins all play their role…

Australian research is taking a nosedive. A decade in the making. Bringing research back to the top of the national agenda requires a fresh approach from our sector, and political leadership. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The Future... Without a doubt

Our friends at EMBL Australia have called for expressions of interest for the position of Scientific Head. It's a fantastic opportunity for senior scientists based in Aus to bring a vision, stakeholders, and resources to a network that has produced such vibrant scientists and discoveries. 🧪

We are ramping up our attempts to get DC1 immunotherapy into the clinic for colorectal and lung cancer. Here me talk about why DC1s are the right choice, and how WEHI and PeterMacCC will get it to clinical trial within 2 yrs. Start ~13 min in. podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/v...

Larger organisations have an opportunity to pioneer automation for discovery. Is not mutually exclusive with hypothesis driven research.
