Congrats to Prof Gordon Smyth on winning the Australian Museum Eureka Prizes for Excellence in Research Software 🏆 The award recognises his pivotal role in developing limma, a widely used tool which has helped researchers detect changes in gene activity. 👏👏 Read more👇 wehi.edu.au/news/wehi-bioi…

Australia to completely ban the use of genetic information in life and disability insurance. A huge win for the genetic disease community, for research participants and researchers, and for Dr Jane Tiller and others who tirelessly campaigned for this change! abc.net.au/news/2024-09-1…

👏 Great to see this paper out now in Nature Reviews Genetics! Read more 👇

Fabulous to be part of a collaborative network, over 400 local, national and international team members from a range of disciplines (clinical and laboratory diagnostics, basic and applied science) at varying career stages. But for the families. Centre for Cancer Biology UniSA

A special visitor hopped into Centre for Cancer Biology today! The Easter Bunny made a surprise stop with chocolate treats and a delicious morning tea featuring hotcross buns. A fun and festive break for the team! #EasterAtWork #MorningTea #CentreforCancerBiology

Germline genetic variation has been linked to both hematologic cancer and clonal hematopoiesis. But does germline variation influence the likelihood of CH progressing to cancer? And if so, why? We tackle these questions here in Nature Genetics nature.com/articles/s4158…

Look forward to seeing this Stellar scientist in Australia!
