Yesterday was our yearly off-site lab retreat ! A great day with the team sharing what we have achieved, are doing, & will be striving for. A day of goal-setting & strategic planning for the year ahead! 📸: Post-doc Dr. Lima sharing with us a snippet from her latest publication

#Publication | Our latest publication in Nature Communications demonstrates that tumour microenvironmental cytokines bind to cancer exosomes via proteoglycans, leading to uptake by specific cell lineages & organs; with consequent increase in metastatic burden. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Pre-COVID lockdown, we celebrated our amazing RA Sophie's birthday with an amazing cake from MICA. We love you Sophie!

BNE COVID Lockdown: 3rd - 9th Aug 21 No lockdown can keep our minds away from being inquisitive. The team met online via ZOOM to have a journal club meet. As usual, great discussion with learning points picked up from each other. Guess who is the odd one out in the dress code?

Our fresh PhD candidate, Sarah Voss, working on interrogating and the potential use of exosomal cargo as biomarkers for cancer.

The team enjoyed a hearty lunch at O Brasileiro yesterday, a favorite place of past & present lab members for amazing Brazilian food. A lovely COVID-safe team bonding activity, after a mentally draining lab meet discussion on individual project progress.

Excited to share that our sEV/exosome isolation comparison has been published doi.org/10.1002/jev2.1… Great collaboration with UQ's Carlos Salomon, Richard Lobb, QIMRB's Gunter Hartel, Harsha Gowda and teams.
