Six projects, led by @ashley_farlow @hardiprpatel @ArkellLab @EduEyras @DehorterLab & @lizzyg100,were awarded over $8M via @NHMRC Ideas Grant. 🎉

The funding will boost progress in key areas of health research, from Indigenous health to autism treatments: https://t.co/s5No62NIeb

#IMGC2022 has flown by! One day left, starting with Tech & Resources and Mary Lyon Lecture (Julie Mathieu) in the morning, Community discussion on Rigor & Reproducibility after lunch, then we wrap up with Human Disease Models II and head to Grouse Mountain for the banquet!

Day 2 of #IMGC2022 in Vancouver, BC, the sun is finally out but great science is inside! Development, Epigenetics & Stem Cells this morning, followed by a productive Business Meeting. Looking forward to Kent Hunter's talk & first Human Disease Models session this afternoon.

[Mammalian Genome Soc @IMGS_news]

Day 1 of #IMGC2022 yesterday was kicked off by a fantastic Evolution, Gene Drive and Conservation Genetics session, talks by Royden Saah, Matthew Berns (Lorraine Flaherty Award winner from Trainee Symposium), Luke Gierus, Kevin Oh and Rebekah Tillotson. Hybrid format good so far!

[Mammalian Genome Soc @IMGS_news]

Other great sessions on Day 1 of #IMGC2022 were Translational & Systems Genetics and Comparative Genomics & Computational Methods, plus a wonderful Verne Chapman Lecture by Monica Justice!

[Noorya Y. Ahmed @NooryaAhmed]

First talk of the day! Early in development, lots has to go right. Kyle from @ArkellLab works on key genetic pathways that are affected when things go wrong, and how to detect slight alterations in the genome that lead to disease. Great talk! #JCSMRStuCon @JCSMR #wearejcsmr

There are significant gender gaps in grant funding from Australia's largest medical funding body.
@purton_louise & Dr Jessica Borger share their investigation, noting more must be done if we ever hope to close gaps across STEMM

This work has been years in the making and provides a mechanism by which mammalian neural crest specification is restricted to the neural plate border.

[The Arkell Lab @ArkellLab]

The second of our papers investigating how SUMOylation Potentiates ZIC Protein Activity to Influence Murine Neural Crest Cell Specification has finally been published! https://t.co/DYsDHsGg45 #mdpiijms via @IJMS_MDPI @ivybarratt

In the lateral regions of the neurectoderm however, (a region of low canonical WNT activity), basal ZIC proteins act as co-repressors of WNT/TCF-mediated transcription.
