Congratulations A/Prof Rachel Peters, recipient of the NAC @TSANZ 2024 career development fellowship. Prof Peters, Principal Investigator of @mcri_for_kids HealthNuts and EarlyNuts, will be developing a prediction model to assist clinicians to provide early asthma diagnoses.

Yesterday marked a significant milestone as we hosted the inaugural #CUREAsthma Research Symposium, marking a crucial step towards finding a cure for asthma. Thanks to scientific advancements, this goal is now within reach. More: buff.ly/4cT5174

Researchers, led by #MCRI , have made a breakthrough into how two chronic #respiratory diseases in childhood affect the #immune system, paving the way for better treatments | #ChildHealth #MedicalResearch

Congratulations Melanie Neeland and Shivanthan Shanthikumar 🫁🫁 and the rest of the team. This research is valuable and moves our understanding and our field on quite a bit.

Congratulations to the team. Fantastic work! Timely discovery to help untangle treatable traits in pediatric respiratory diseases.

Just in time for #tsanzsrs2024 a commentary on paediatric asthma in Australia. Lots of parallels with issues in adult asthma identified by Vanessa McDonald and others.

Another excellent discovery science symposium at #TSANZSRS2024 focused on single cell technologies for respiratory disease featuring Alen Faiz Melanie Neeland Dr Steve Milne and Gerard Kaiko

Thanks for having me ERS #LSC2024 🇵🇹! It was a pleasure to present our #earlylife 🫁 research, make new friends 🌎, and see #Aussie 🇦🇺 superstars Dr Prue Pereira-Fantini 🫁🧬 and Denby Evans. I don’t think I’ll be able to resist the #singlecell #tissue theme next year 🤓.

Dr. Melanie Neeland Melanie Neeland presenting exciting data on the effect of #CFTR modulators on immune signatures in early-life #CysticFibrosis , in the ECMC Young Investigator Session at the ERS #LSC2024 in #Estoril 🇵🇹 today.

The ECMC Young Investigator Session is now underway at the ERS #LSC2024 in #Estoril 🇵🇹, held in honour of Dr. William MacNee, under the watchful eyes of session chairs Cheng-Yu Wu (l) and #NotOnX Dr. Ana Mora.

A fantastic mentorship lunch with S.Meiners.Lab, Daniel Schnepf, Melanie Neeland, and Dr. Iwona Kwiecień today.

Great food paired with even better conversations. Definitely a highlight at #LSC2024 .

Congratulations Dr Samantha Bannister Samantha Bannister on your PhD graduation! Seeing you thrive in your PhD and your clinical role has been such a pleasure. UniMelb MDHS, The Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne and Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) are lucky to have you and we can’t wait to see all you will achieve.

This week, our #SingleCell biology grantees gathered to share their research, connect with other research groups + discuss how they can use new data & technologies to understand health & disease.

Attendees, what was your favorite part of the meeting?
