Congrats to my stellar lab member Izzie, + Edwin & @Stephintje, on their latest pub in CDD press identifying new epigenetic regulators of B cell fate! WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) WEHI Postdocs nature.com/articles/s4141…

Head, Molecular Immunology Lab ONJ Cancer Research Institute Dr @conorkearney88 presents at our Inaugural Northern’s Brightest Stars - Student Symposium on drug screening technology. His top tip – don’t be biased in experiments by pre-empting results #NBS2022 @UoM La Trobe University RMIT University


A/Prof Erinna Lee ONJ Cancer Research Institute Cell Death and Survival Lab (headed by A/Prof Doug Fairlie) presents on her work to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying cell survival decisions dictated by apoptosis and autophagy #NBS2022 RMIT University University of Melbourne La Trobe University


More thought provoking presentations from A/Prof Michael Hildebrand, A/Prof Rachel Davey, Dr Kylie Quinn ONJ Cancer Research Institute #NBS2022 today 👏. Top analogy of the day from A/Prof Peter Mount - “Acute Kidney Injury is like a car breaking down” @Unimelb La Trobe University RMIT University The Florey The Florey


Over at the tumour immunology session- a fabulous presentation by PhD student, LizzyPijpers from the Peter Mac Cancer Centre 🙌 #ASI2022MEL WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) ONJ Cancer Research Institute @conorkearney88 @Stephintje @rickyjohnstone



Thanks Austin Medical Research Foundation Austin MRF for #grants to further research into breast cancer and predicting colorectal cancer patient outcomes! bit.ly/3VJZ8zy Well done Camilla Reehorst, @conorkearney88 Bhupinder Pal, Jimmy Chan, Amr Allam, Zhipeng Cao

Congratulations to Lizzy Pijpers and supervisors Ricky Johnstone Vervoort Lab - Transcriptional Regulation, a fantastic body of work for a PhD thesis!

Two weeks left to apply to join the Vervoort Lab - Transcriptional Regulation at WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) supported by Snow Medical Do you want to explore the unknown in the field of gene regulation? Do you love #Genomics #CRISPR #Transcription? Then we are looking for you 🫵 Plz share 📥 wehi.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/WEHI/job…

KalliesLab and I are excited to share our latest study in Nature Immunology dissecting the heterogeneity and function of VAT Tregs. Huge effort from Santiago Valle Torres and Kevin Man Doherty Institute UniMelb MDHS ONJ Cancer Research Institute La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science Thanks to all our collaborators!! nature.com/articles/s4159…

Congrats to Coner Kearney, Mario Djajawi, and Lizzy Pijpers for this beautiful study. Awesome collaboration between Peter Mac Research and ONJ Cancer Research Institute. cell.com/cell-reports/f…




A Post Doc position is available in my Molecular Immunology lab (MIL) ONJ Cancer Research Institute. Co-appointment with Vervoort Lab - Transcriptional Regulation WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute). If you are interested in new tech (CRISPR and singe cell) to study Cancer Immunology please get in touch!


A post doc position is available in my lab ONJ Cancer Research Institute 🔬 If you are interested in investigating tumour immune escape using genomics and CRISPR please get in touch!!!

Excited to share our latest pre-print identifying TAK1 as a tumour intrinsic checkpoint that limits CTL-derived cytokine-induced cell death and immunotherapy responses. Brilliant collaboration between Conor J Kearney ONJ Cancer Research Institute and Vervoort Lab - Transcriptional Regulation WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute). biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
