There are significant gender gaps in grant funding from Australia's largest medical funding body. Prof Louise Purton & Dr Jessica Borger share their investigation, noting more must be done if we ever hope to close gaps across STEMM The STEM Wrap #WomenInSTEM womensagenda.com.au/latest/is-aust…

Next week's Developmental Biology Conversation, we will be hearing from Dr Kristen Barratt and Azelle Hawdon! @ivybarratt The Arkell Lab ZenkerLab ARMI

Dr Kristen Barratt's work explores the causes of congenital birth defects that arise in early embryogenesis @ivybarratt The Arkell Lab

@ivybarratt uses models to understand the regulators of WNT and NODAL signalling pathways during early developmental processes

The Developmental Biology Conversation is a spin off from our usual Stem Cell Conversations, focussing more on showcasing the work of fabulous researchers in developmental biology.

Come and hear our postdoc @ivybarratt present our most recent work on elevated WNT signalling and Zic3-associated congenital heart defects on Thursday and Friday #wnttalks

Meet ANZSCDB member Kyle Drover, PhD student in the Arkell lab John Curtin School of Medical Research, ANU who uses bioinformatics to interrogate murine models of Holoprosencephaly

Check out this recent paper from Kyle and the Arkell lab on how comparative analysis of mouse and human mutations has established framework for holoprosencephaly causation wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ws…

Exciting opportunity if you're in the ACT #ASMRMRW2022 👇🏻 Get in quick to attend our mixer event with 2022 ASMR Medalist Prof Fiona Wood on Wed 8th June at John Curtin School of Medical Research, ANU following her National Press Club address Don't miss the chance to meet our inspiring medalist: eventbrite.com.au/e/asmr-medical…

First talk of the day! Early in development, lots has to go right. Kyle from The Arkell Lab works on key genetic pathways that are affected when things go wrong, and how to detect slight alterations in the genome that lead to disease. Great talk! #JCSMRStuCon John Curtin School of Medical Research, ANU #wearejcsmr

Other great sessions on Day 1 of #IMGC2022 were Translational & Systems Genetics and Comparative Genomics & Computational Methods, plus a wonderful Verne Chapman Lecture by Monica Justice!

Day 1 of #IMGC2022 yesterday was kicked off by a fantastic Evolution, Gene Drive and Conservation Genetics session, talks by Royden Saah, Matthew Berns (Lorraine Flaherty Award winner from Trainee Symposium), Luke Gierus, Kevin Oh and Rebekah Tillotson. Hybrid format good so far!

Day 2 of #IMGC2022 in Vancouver, BC, the sun is finally out but great science is inside! Development, Epigenetics & Stem Cells this morning, followed by a productive Business Meeting. Looking forward to Kent Hunter's talk & first Human Disease Models session this afternoon.

#IMGC2022 has flown by! One day left, starting with Tech & Resources and Mary Lyon Lecture (Julie Mathieu) in the morning, Community discussion on Rigor & Reproducibility after lunch, then we wrap up with Human Disease Models II and head to Grouse Mountain for the banquet!

Six projects, led by Ashley Farlow Hardip Patel The Arkell Lab Eduardo Eyras Dehorter Lab & Liz Gardiner,were awarded over $8M via @NHMRC Ideas Grant. 🎉 The funding will boost progress in key areas of health research, from Indigenous health to autism treatments: bit.ly/IdeasGrant
