Yesterday, we welcomed WA Governor Chris Dawson AC APM, Science & Medical Research Minister Stephen Dawson MLC, and other VIPs for the official launch of the Personalised Medicine Centre - a joint @MurdochUni & @PerronInstitute initiative reshaping rare disease treatment 🧬
The Molecular Therapy Laboratory at @MurdochUni would like to hear from people with a lived experience of a #rare#genetic#condition at this Community Conversation on the 9 April. Find out more & submit an EOI to attend - https://t.co/h2wjxb1XzX A $70 honorarium offered.
Congratulations Professor Steve Wilton AO, who has been inducted as a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences @AAHMS_health in recognition of his work as an early pioneer in the use of antisense oligomers to treat #Duchenne#MuscularDystrophy
Today, on FACEIt Day, we are raising awareness for childhood dementia.
Our lab is developing innovative treatments that could one day offer hope to those affected.
Join us in spreading awareness & pushing for change. #FACEIt#ChildhoodDementia@Child_Dementia
📣We are thrilled to announce our first research grant award for 2024!
Congratulations, Dr. Jessica Cale, Dr. Craig McIntosh and Isabella Trew at Murdoch University (Perth, Australia).
Grant Title: Antisense Oligonucleotide-Mediated Therapeutic Intervention for Malan Syndrome
@cmmit_mu FACE it to make #ChildhoodDementia impossible to ignore. Over 70 genetic conditions cause childhood dementia, most won't live to adulthood. More research & better is support needed. @cmmit_mu @UTAS@Child_Dementia exploring if our genetic white out can help #faceit
Members of the Molecular Therapy team attended the @ConnectGroupsWA @rarediseaseday Exhibit showcasing photos & stories of local individuals & families living with rare, genetic & undiagnosed conditions #RareDiseaseDay#RareDiseaseDay2023#RareDiseases
Congratulations to our newest graduate Dr @Jessica__Cale! After completing her thesis 'Developing therapeutic alternative splicing strategies for type 1 fibrillinopathies using antisense technologies', we are so pleased Jess is continuing her work at @cmmit_mu & @PerronInstitute
Congratulations to PhD Candidate Di Huang who has taken out @MurdochUni 3MT Competition with her project 'Stargardt disease and its therapeutics'. Along with the @PerronInstitute, we are incredibly proud of Di and her efforts. #3MT#PhD#PhDChat#PhDLife#Stargardt
