We know that optimising an experimental protocol is never a straightforward task! Congratulations to first year PhD student Sanela Dozic for her hard work in 2022. Looking forward to some exciting data this year now you have those pesky cells under control 🧫 #ECIExcellence2022

Thankyou to Dr Kate Weeks for the nomination- it put the biggest smile on my face! and to ISHR Australasian Section It was so rewarding to be able to present at in person symposia again!

Second day of the Microbiology, Anatomy, Physiology and Pharmacology HDR student seminars, Sarah Hayes from Bell-Lab: Cardiac Disease Mechanisms division giving their PhD confirmation with a fascinating talk understanding the paracrine influence of cardiac adiposity on cardiac inter-cellular communication. Great work Sarah!

Thanks team ❤️

And with my panel meeting completed this afternoon… I am officially confirmed!!! Officially a 2nd year PhD student ☺️☺️☺️🥳🥳🥳 thankyou to everyone who has supported me so far and to my supervisor Bell-Lab: Cardiac Disease Mechanisms !!!!

If you agree the Australian PhD stipend should be raised to meet minimum wage, please sign this petition to parliament. Must be an Aus citizen or resident to sign. Fewer than 5000 people have signed so far #PhDVoice #PhDLife - aph.gov.au/e-petitions/pe…

Here's Tayla Hughes presenting her recent work identifying unpregulated aortic endothelial vascular remodelling pathways in hypertension - at the 2023 Baker - La Trobe Research symposium. #scRNAseq #flowcytometry #hypertension

Pleased to share our most recent work. High-fat feeding abolishes transmural conduction gradients in ventricular slices. Epicardial conduction slowing strongly correlates with cardiomyocyte lipid accumulation. Novel arrhythmogenic mechanism in settings of cardiac adiposity?

On a day like this, there's no place I'd rather be!🌞 #SYMP4MAPP La Trobe MAPP Postgrads Microbiology, Anatomy, Physiology and Pharmacology

Incredibly proud of our students for absolutely smashing it at the #SympforMAPP2024 Research Symposium today! Congratulations to all speakers and organisers on this successful event 🤩🎉 La Trobe MAPP Postgrads La Trobe University La Trobe Agriculture, Biomedicine & Environment

Next at #ASCEPT2023, Cardiac Mechanisms division lead Bell-Lab: Cardiac Disease Mechanisms shares his work on cardiac adiposity in aging. Could it be a potential target for cardiac arrhythmias?

Thankyou so much for the nomination!!! Keen to get some great data this year with all of these Westerns 😊😊

thankyou so much!!! Such an honour 😁😁

Thankyou to everyone who came down to the trivia night at Moon Dog last night! Was a great night with excellent trivia and even better company. Stay tuned for our next events!! 🎉

Introducing your 2024 MAPP HDR committee! On this page we will be advertising our events and sharing the successes of our HDR students, so please tag us with all of the cool things you’re up to!!

Really pleased to share our latest research published in JMCC Plus. A collaborative project between Melbourne (Bell-Lab: Cardiac Disease Mechanisms, Lea Durham Delbridge) and Birmingham (Davor Pavlovic), assessing the acute influence of sex steroids on atrial electrophysiology.

woohoo! Congratulations Dr Nicola Sergienko and Dr Kate Weeks

had a great time today presenting a science bite on some preliminary proteomics analysis i have been doing on healthy sheep epicardial adipose! #MAPPSYMPOSIUM2024

Had so much fun organising this symposium with these lovely people, we got so much kind feedback at the end which meant a lot!!
