Australian Basic biomedical research is under threat!! Why does this matter? We can just fund clinical research right?? We have the #MRFF...No it won't🙃Watch this awesome video: Basic Science is key to Revolution in Medicine!! @GregHuntMP NHMRC youtube.com/watch?v=GmhD-R… ANZSCDB

BREAKING NEWS: The 2019 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded jointly to William G. Kaelin Jr, Sir Peter J. Ratcliffe and Gregg L. Semenza “for their discoveries of how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability.”

Many thanks to Chan Zuckerberg Initiative for the generous support to attend the Human Cell Atlas meeting. Should be fun and looking forward to chat about single cell tech tomorrow.

Almost 90% of vision impairment occurs in low- and middle-income countries. Here's how CERA's research can help make a difference. #WorldSightDay #VisionFirst IAPB

Super article in @Sciencemagazine about #HumanCellAtlas projects to catalogue all the cell types in the human body and how the NIH Human BioMolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP) will help. bit.ly/2ow094M

This is sooooooo funnnn

Media coverage is hot today on the topic of the potential legalisation of mitochondrial donation. As expected, some media will sensationalise the topic but Sunrise Sunrise where Dr. Ginni Mansberg did a fantastic job of explaining the reality.

We're thrilled to share that Professor Robyn Guymer and Dr Raymond Wong (Raymond Wong) have been awarded NHMRC grants! This will support vital research into age-related macular degeneration and inherited retinal diseases. #NHMRC #Vision

Very nice, where is the Aussie version? youtu.be/m6_uqmNZRmk

Thrilled to be awarded the MRFF #CUREator grant to develop retinal gene therapy! Looking forward to work with the teams at CERA and Brandon BioCatalyst on this exciting tech. Centre for Eye Research Australia, #BrandonCapital, #MRFF

Happy to share our latest bioinformatic work on DR out at IOVS Journal. We for the first time identified severity-associated genes, and profiled both immune cells and retinal cells in relation to DR.
