Exciting Day 3 @RACI #MCCB2025 ! Starting with showstopping stories from GateBioscience's Pat Sharp on the development of Sec61 #inhibitors for Prion disease, & Prof. Avril Robertson @UQ_News on targeting NLRP3 #inflammasomes. Impressive preclinical efficacy fromin both stories!

[Rohan Volpe @rohanvolpe]

#mccb2025 was great for many reasons. Seeing a plenary swim with a croc was one!
