Curious to understand more about #CRISPR ?
We have developed a free CRISPR online learning course to help explain the genome editing tool. 🧬

It’s impressive to hear presentations from senior researchers, but I’m always most inspired to see the work of rising stars ECRs like Maggie Potts in lab of Marco Herold WEHI Millennium Science @10xgenomics

There is no difference in the capability of women & men to design & perform outstanding research, yet the current funding system is biased against #WomeninSTEMM . Support an overhaul in the distribution of NHMRC funding - Sign the Petition! chng.it/W5VPKLjY via @ChangeAUS

🌟We are excited to roll out #TakeoverThursday featuring our amazing mentors each week! 🌟

Today we have Elizabeth Lieschke, a PhD researcher at WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute), and University of Melbourne showing us a day in the life of a cancer researcher! 👩‍🔬🧪

Analysis of the results of the 1st three yrs of NHMRC Investigator Grants has revealed that gender equity is not being addressed adequately. Analysis of the $ funded per person has revealed L1 basic women received ~ $500K less than men. These are lab heads 10-15 yrs post-PhD. 1/5

Got some cool new data you want to share? Start thinking about your abstract!

Congratulations to WEHI Lab Head A/Prof Marco Herold Marco Herold on being awarded the David Syme Research prize for his work on adapting CRISPR to advance clinical research 👏

The Dyson Bequest has supported early career female scientists at WEHI for more than a decade 💙💚💛
Currently it is enabling Gemma Kelly to study vulnerabilities in blood cancers that could be exploited for cancer therapy.

Meet Dr Nenad Sejic, postdoct in the Gemma Kelly lab WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) and alumnus of Uni of Birmingham. Nenad researches potential new therapies for lymphomas caused by Epstein-Barr virus. His studies was recently published in Blood Advances doi.org/10.1182/blooda…. #postdocportrait

Another amazing animation by the talented Etsuko Uno.

BCL-XL is important for the survival of EBV-assoc'd T/NK cell lymphomas, suggesting a new therapeutic target for these rare, aggressive blood cancers.
Paper in Blood Advances, led by Dr Nenad Sejic & Gemma Kelly, with Claire Shannon-Lowe from Uni of Birmingham
