It’s a tremendous honour to step into the acting director shoes WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute). Working alongside my acting deputies Marnie Blewitt and Sant-Rayn Pasricha, our staff, students, collaborators and supporters, I’m looking forward to the exciting journey ahead. - Alan Cowman

After months of preparation it is D day for our conference on #LongCOVID in Melbourne. Today we are coming as a community with patients, healthcare workers, researchers and policy makers to work together to advance our understanding of the disease, to provide better care.

I had so much fun writing this review with some of my colleagues including Peter Rosston and Anwar Hossain. I hope you enjoy reading it. portlandpress.com/biochemj/artic… Thanks Biochemical Journal for inviting me to write this #RandomActsOfKinase

AlphaFold has given us millions of protein structure predictions, but analysing these can be tricky due to computational limitations. Foldseek Cluster is a new algorithm that can perform structural comparisons of every #AlphaFoldDB protein prediction. ebi.ac.uk/about/news/res…

In exciting news for Australian biotech this week, momelotinib, a drug co-invented in Melbourne by Amplia CEO, Dr Chris Burns, has been granted approval by the FDA for the treatment of myelofibrosis. Read more: bit.ly/ATX-momelotinib $ATX #biotech #innovation #FDA #drugdiscovery

A shining example of innovation, showcasing the power of integrating structural biology in early drug discovery and academia/industry partnership. Kudos to the incredible teams at Monash & Cytopia. Special shoutout to the many women involved #WomenInScience

Excited to share #AlphaMissense our new AI system that can classify whether genetic mutations (missense variants) are benign or harmful - a critical step toward uncovering causes of many diseases, from cystic fibrosis to cancer. In Science Magazine today dpmd.ai/AlphaMissenseDH

A fantastic achievement for a home-grown Australian discovery. Congrats to WEHI #structuralbiologists, Isa Lucet Dr Onisha Patel for their contribution to structure-based #drugdiscovery of #momelotinib during their time at Monash University in partnership with Cytopia. #WomenInScience

Calling scientists and chemists in Melbourne 🧑‍🔬 Coming all the way from Copenhagen, Prof Meldal will *next week* present his Nobel Prize-winning work in 'click chemistry' work to the scientific community in Parkville 🧪 Register your attendance here: bit.ly/ProfMortenMeld…

ARC CCeMMP members enjoying a lunch break during the CRYOZ23 cryo-EM workshops. We've been learning cryo-electron tomography, modelling, and image analysis. ARC CCeMMP UQ Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences

ARC CCeMMP group photo of centre members/affiliates at #cryoz23 - a great turn out in Brisbane! And thanks to outreach committee members for coordinating our 'macromolecular' assembly photoshoot 😀 Australian Research Council #croEM #croET (credits to Lou Brillault for the photo).

Josh Hardy hey mate, I enjoyed your talk. TEMPO is a taking off! A really great initiative. If we can, Monash should contribute more material or content, whatever helps. Keep it up 🤘

Awesome to see this fantastic study of the elusive EphB6 pseudokinase in print at long last nature.com/articles/s4200… Massive congrats to star PhD student Lung-Yu Liang (now in Frankfurt) who bravely took on this toughest of projects with Isa Lucet and me

Thrilled about our latest Pseudokinase research published today in Communications Biology, showing EphB6 power in promoting cell cell adhesion through formation of intercellular tubes. Many congratulations to our star PhD student Lung-Yu Liang.

Many thanks to Dr Kelly Rogers OAM and her team Niall Geoghegan Mike M, Lacklan W and to Debnath Ghosal and Andrew Leis for their dedicated support and to all others. Thanks to NHMRC , Melbourne Research Scholarship and WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) for funding.

💫 Our new publication in Science Signaling reveals insights into gastric cancer progression! Funded by La Trobe University, Dr Shoukat Sterle & team found inhibiting DCLK1 reduces tumour growth and prevents cancer from reshaping its environment. Congrats to the team! 👉 tinyurl.com/onjsho

Proud of the Isa Lucet team from WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) , Emily park ARC CCeMMP , Lyn Deng , Dylan Silke, Jean-Max Mazeri, Josh Hardy & andrew thompson, showcasing their latest research, everything Ephrin receptors, DCLK1 & Protein DJ synthetic binders at @LorneProteins.
