Congrats to lab members Dr Emily Don Maxinne Watchon and Katie for sweeping up the prizes at today's EnCouRage symposium!

I’m so proud of Dr Maxinne Watchon Maxinne Watchon on the day of her PhD graduation! So excited to watch her soar! MJD Foundation Motor Neuron Disease Research Centre

How does the heat shock response proceed in a cell challenged w/ aggregating proteins associated w/ neurodegeneration? Excellent work Rebecca San Gil, Justin Yerbury AM, Lezanne, Dr Dezerae Cox, Luke McAlary, Adam Walker, Heath Ecroyd & Tracey Berg! Great explanation Justin Yerbury AM!

Hope you didn't miss the International #Zebrafish in Neuroscience Web Conference ? Great talks with great scientists The Rihel lab Will Norton from Leicester ... Don't hesitate to get the replay .. youtube.com/channel/UC3Cu-…

Holy shit To all the people out there that work on brain tissue - stay safe. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

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!!

First week of my #PhD done! Looking forward to the next three years with Angela Laird Laird Neuro Treatment Team #phdchat

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 Ammar Al-Chalabi, some of whom had to give their talk at 6AM!☕️#MNDatMQ

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 The Australian Society for Medical Research (ASMR) @greghuntMP #AdvanceAustraliaCare

Meet Masters student, @nkakaroubas from the Neurodegeneration Treatment group Laird Neuro Treatment Team. 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…

This is a truly sad day for Australian Neuroscience .... the trashing of discovery science has to stop 🛑

So proud to have Maxinne Watchon in our team. What an amazing researcher and team member!

Last call for #MNM2021 abstracts 📝 for your chance to present your work alongside leaders in #neurodegeneration research Dominic Rowe Mary-Louise Rogers Ralph N Martins Michael Buckland Profs Virginia Lee, Nancy Bonini and John Landers! #MNDatMQ mq.edu.au/research/resea…

We are excited to share our paper in Molecular Brain 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

Thank you to the Motor Neuron Disease Research Centre researchers that worked so hard on the study, especially Maxinne Watchon, Luan Luu, Katie Robinson and Albert Lee Big thanks MJD Foundation, Anindilyakwa land council, #NHMRC for supporting this work Watch out for lots more exciting findings coming out soon!

We seek amazing minds to join us Motor Neuron Disease Research Centre #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!

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
