Wollongong scientist urges premier to protect COVID vulnerable ift.tt/3mmfvU5
Research on #ataxia is showcasing profound results with Molecule BLD-2736 reducing the amount of mutated proteins aggregates in #zebrafish models of SCA3. We will be Looking forward to see Phase 1 Trial of the molecule in 2022!! ow.ly/NNt750Gy8oF #ataxiatype3
We seek amazing minds to join us @mnd_mq #postdoc with skills in cloning, CRISPR & #zebrafish tinyurl.com/ez6uwk8 #researchassistant testing treatments #SCA3 #ALS #MND using rodent models tinyurl.com/dw48a56j 🐁🐟🧬 #postdocjobs #sciencejobs #researchjobs Please share!
Thank you to the @mnd_mq researchers that worked so hard on the study, especially @maxinne_w, Luan Luu, @kjrobinson_MQ and @bertylee_ Big thanks @MJDFoundation, Anindilyakwa land council, #NHMRC for supporting this work Watch out for lots more exciting findings coming out soon!
We are excited to share our paper in @molecularbrain where we found that treatment with sodium valproate increases activity of the sirtuin pathway in our #MJD #SCA3 #zebrafish, increasing their distances swum and inducing #Autophagy rdcu.be/cvXAq
Last call for #MNM2021 abstracts 📝 for your chance to present your work alongside leaders in #neurodegeneration research @CinimodEwor @MLRogers123 @RalphNMartins1 @drmbuckland Profs Virginia Lee, Nancy Bonini and John Landers! #MNDatMQ mq.edu.au/research/resea…
Crowd at the SCG has turned blue for @FightMND #BigFreeze7 #MNDresearch what a great crowd wanting to help fight the beast, motor neurone disease @mnd_mq
So proud to have @maxinne_w in our team. What an amazing researcher and team member!

Meet Masters student, @nkakaroubas from the Neurodegeneration Treatment group @LairdNeuroLab. Currently, Nicholas is creating and validating a zebrafish model to investigate the role of stress granule localisation in #ALS #MND🔬🐟#MNDatMQ Find out more: linkedin.com/in/nicholaskak…
Thanks to @nhmrc funding we have developed zebrafish models to test treatments for fatal #neurodegenerative diseases A current lack of funding for fundamental research limits the treatments we can test, slowing progress #SaveOzScience @TheASMR1 @greghuntMP #AdvanceAustraliaCare
Fantastic start to Day 1 of the Macquarie Neurodegeneration Meeting 2020! Thanks to everyone who attended and asked qns, particularly our invited speakers Profs Neil Cashman, @afroginaus, Flaviano Giorgini and @AmmarAlChalabi, some of whom had to give their talk at 6AM!☕️#MNDatMQ
First week of my #PhD done! Looking forward to the next three years with @AngelaSLaird @LairdNeuroLab #PhDchat
Last day to apply to join our team as a research assistant! If you have #zebrafish experience we have some exciting projects to get started on together!!
