Excited to see "comprehensive characterization of fetal and mature retinal cell identity to assess the fidelity of retinal organoids" doi.org/10.1016/j.stem… in the special issue of StemCellReports. Congratulations to Hani Jieun Kim and excellent collaboration with Stem Cell Medicine Group and Organoid Facility

Congratulations to CMRI’s Dr Anai Gonzalez Cordero and her team (Stem Cell Medicine Group and Organoid Facility) who will be supplying the organoids to speed up the development and testing of new therapies for genetic disease. Read more here: cmrijeansforgenes.org.au/news/cmri-part… 2/

We are excited to announce that four CMRI scientists have been awarded Australian Government Medical Research Future Fund (#MRFF ) grants for vital work in #stemcells and gene therapies. Please join us in congratulating them! cmrijeansforgenes.org.au/news/four-cmri…

We’re so grateful and excited to start using our new robot, which was generously donated by the Medich Foundation. It will help accelerate our research #stemcells #organoid #retinaldiseases CMRI. cmrijeansforgenes.org.au/news/robot-don…

📢 Registrations and abstract submissions are now open for the 2023 Australasian Society for Stem Cell Research conference in Sydney. Looking forward to seeing you there.

Keep an 👁️ out for our superstar Phd students representing the lab at #ISSCR2023 in Boston. Benjamin Lim will be presenting his poster today from 2:15 and Michelle O’Hara Wright on Friday from 10:15. Drop by to hear about their amazing work #stemcell #organoid #retinaldisease

We’re excited to be collaborating with the Behavioural sciences unit at UNSW. Bringing patients, carers and researchers together to identify the priorities to better diagnose and treat #InheritedRetinalDiseases. For more info cmrijeansforgenes.org.au/research/resea… CMRI

Scholarships for graduate study in our lab, or any of the other fantastic CMRI groups (Noa Lamm Dr Tracy Bryan Computational Systems Biology Lab, Stem Cell Medicine Group and Organoid Facility, Gene Therapy, and more), are open. If you are interested in joining our team, please DM or e-mail Tony Cesare.

Dr Karl talks gene therapies with our very own Prof Ian Alexander! A great reminder of the science made possible thanks to 30 years of Jeans for Genes support for Children’s Medical Research Institute. Listen here: shirtloadsofscience.libsyn.com/gene-therapy-w…

Double your support today 💙💙 Right now, every dollar you donate will be matched up to $200,000. That means $400,000 for our researchers to continue finding treatments and cures for children's genetic diseases. Double your donation here: fundraise.jeansforgenes.org.au/event/jeans-fo… #JeansforGenes
