Lab head, Translational Kidney Therapies @MonashCID researching Vasculitis, NETs, & the microbiome in autoimmune kidney diseases.Big supporter of women in STEM.
Happy to share our latest review on my favourite form of cell death....@SCSMonash@MonashCID Neutrophil Extracellular Traps: A Potential Therapeutic Target in MPO-ANCA Associated Vasculitis? https://t.co/mJj7uJkJBu
Great to be partnering with the excellence of the @VasculitisFound for the Community and Patient Conference at #vasculitismelbourne early next year!
Register here for any and all Workshop events: https://t.co/PMo7bFK34D
Don't miss your chance to share new findings at the 22nd International Vasculitis Workshop! If you have been waiting to submit your late breaking abstract, consider this is your friendly reminder.
Deadline: Wednesday 10 December, 2025

Fabulous collaboration between @SCSMonash@MonashCID@Hudson_Research and A/Prof Grant Logan from @CMRI_AUS harnessing gene therapy to deliver therapeutic doses of DNaseI to clear extracellular DNA release from NETs in experimental ANCA Vasculitis.
Extracellular DNA is known to induce inflammation, but does it drive kidney damage in autoimmune vasculitis?
@Kim_M_OS & team @MonashUni report on targeting ecDNA with DNAase I in models of MPO-ANCA vasculitis.

Time is critical in AAV: dampening kidney inflammation prevents damage
Why not target effector T cells - leave other T cells alone?
Our paper in @NDTSocial defines IL-7Ra as a target

Great day out for the Bladder and Kidney Disease Symposium with @MHickey_IVM the Director of @MonashCID telling us how cells traffic through the glomerulus!

If you give even the slightest shit about women, watch it all. This is what it’s like.
