Leonardo da Vinci loved quality over quantity. He didn’t write paintings in quantities like we write #research papers today. He always invested time, craft and artistry into each of his masterpieces. For example, Mona Lisa took at least 4 years to paint and (most probably)

Nice to get this kind of acknowledgement 😊

Join us at The 13th Annual QLD Cell and Developmental Biology Meeting! We have an exiting lineup of speakers: Dr Laura Fenlon Laura Fenlon PhD School of Biomedical Sciences UQ, an expert on cortical development, plasticity and evolution, will give a keynote lecture on neocortex development.

Sorry Optus you are losing a loyal customer of 10 years. I am assuming like me lots of people will be changing provider.

Great way to wrap up this week: Getting the award for best post-doctoral publication with our paper on neuronal fusion, and co-direct the paper awarded with second best PhD sudent publication (to @ShanLongfield) at Queensland Brain Institute, UQ in 2023!!!

I love Jen. But let’s be clear. CRISPR was in basic research labs since 2001… it took 11 years to figure out that it could be used as a universal molecular tool. And another 11 years to turn it into an approved therapy. So, from basic discovery to the clinic took >22 years…

I'm so proud that this year, the 2 discoveries chosen by Queensland Brain Institute, UQ and UQ News for their societal impact, are papers where I'm the first author in both of them!! What an honour!Thank you very much! ow.ly/CsVC50Qk0ZQ

TDP-43-mediated neurodegeneration is complex. We show that prior to disease onset in a mouse model of ALS/FTD, cortex neurons elicit a transient increase in protective chaperones that combat TDP-43 aggregation. Read it Nature Communications: rdcu.be/dy1PM

All good in theory 👍🏼 UQ News

A great first session at the 14th Brisbane Cell & Dev Biol meeting! Kicked off with a fantastic talk by Andrea Loreto ミカ

Followed by Andrew Tosolini and the twitterless Igor Bonacossa-Pereira from Hilliard Lab

Researchers from the Hilliard lab at UQ's Queensland Brain Institute have identified a molecule, OSP-1, that may protect brain cells from damage caused by oxidative stress and excessive autophagy — two processes linked to brain diseases like stroke.🧠 The team’s discovery could

Out now! We found a new molecule, OSP-1, that protects neurons from damage caused by oxidative stress. We show that OSP-1 reduces cell death by regulating autophagy, and can be an exciting target for future treatments of acute insults such as stroke. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our work from the Hilliard Lab has been featured in the Editors’ Highlights webpage called “From molecules and cells to organisms”! It feels great to have this research showcased as part of the 50 best papers published in the area. nature.com/collections/bb…

Bye bye bench. It’s been a roller coaster 😅 Glad that it ended well and I emptied these boxes feeling accomplished. Will surely miss the Hilliard Lab at the Queensland Brain Institute, UQ but I am excited to start my next chapter in research administration at the Child Health Research Centre 🎉

Do not miss out on this amazing meeting! The deadline for abstract submission and registration is March 1st. Check out the program and apply now: meetings.embo.org/event/25-cell-… #EMBOcellBioComm EMBO
