Applications close tonight for our new research assistant role https://t.co/07J2vlBikd The position involves using cell and mouse models to study mechanisms & treatments for #ALS#mnd
There's a great team environment & I'd love to support an emerging researcher within this role!
Research on #ataxia is showcasing profound results with Molecule BLD-2736 reducing the amount of mutated proteins aggregates in #zebrafish models of SCA3. We will be Looking forward to see Phase 1 Trial of the molecule in 2022!! https://t.co/a4J4FdOHIO
#ataxiatype3
Thank you to the @mnd_mq researchers that worked so hard on the study, especially @maxinne_w, Luan Luu, @kjrobinson_MQ and @bertylee_
Big thanks @MJDFoundation, Anindilyakwa land council, #NHMRC for supporting this work
Watch out for lots more exciting findings coming out soon!
We are excited to share our paper in @molecularbrain where we found that treatment with sodium valproate increases activity of the sirtuin pathway in our #MJD#SCA3#zebrafish, increasing their distances swum and inducing #Autophagy https://t.co/8XnQ91Q90k
Meet @maxinne_W👋, post-doc in the Neurodegeneration Treatment Team. Maxinne has dedicated her career to identifying potential novel therapeutics💊💉targetting #autophagy in #MJD#SCA3#MND by screening compounds in #zebrafish 🐟 @Laird_NeuroLab #MNDatMQ https://t.co/pttEMTwh0X
Meet Masters student, @nkakaroubas from the Neurodegeneration Treatment group @LairdNeuroLab. Currently, Nicholas is creating and validating a zebrafish model to investigate the role of stress granule localisation in #ALS#MND🔬🐟#MNDatMQ Find out more: https://t.co/seEv1Sym7Y
Thanks to @nhmrc funding we have developed zebrafish models to test treatments for fatal #neurodegenerative diseases
A current lack of funding for fundamental research limits the treatments we can test, slowing progress #SaveOzScience@theasmr1 @greghuntMP #AdvanceAustraliaCare
Fantastic start to Day 1 of the Macquarie Neurodegeneration Meeting 2020! Thanks to everyone who attended and asked qns, particularly our invited speakers Profs Neil Cashman, @afroginaus, Flaviano Giorgini and @AmmarAlChalabi, some of whom had to give their talk at 6AM!☕️#MNDatMQ
Last day to apply to join our team as a research assistant! If you have #zebrafish experience we have some exciting projects to get started on together!!
Hope you didn't miss the International #Zebrafish in Neuroscience Web Conference ? Great talks with great scientists @realRihellab Will Norton from Leicester ...
Don't hesitate to get the replay ..
