Thank a million to @FightMND and all donors for helping us boost our research into understanding and finding a cure for MND!
Our work will take a completely new pace thanks to a FightMND Impact Grant! So excited for our future outcomes and opportunities!
@Griffith_Uni @GRIDD_GU

[FightMND @FightMND]

This year we are investing $20.2 million into MND research and care. This brings our total investment since 2014 to $95.37 million.

Together with our FightMND Army we are changing the future for people living with MND.

Stay tuned for research and care updates. 💙

We were delighted to host A/Professor Summer Thyme from the University of Massachusetts at our QBI Neuroscience Seminar today! 🙌

She shared incredible insights on how zebrafish models and advanced brain mapping drive research into neurodevelopmental disorders. 🧠🐟

Many thanks for this!!!!

Cheers

In celebration of @Aus_ScienceWeek, we want to acknowledge @DrCathBlizzard, @ZebraCLINICS, Dr Rayner, Dr Li and all the brilliant #MND researchers who fight every day towards our collective vision of a world free from MND. Thank you!

Excited to share that Dr. Jean Giacomotto at GRIDD is leveraging zebrafish models to advance understanding of neurological diseases. Through functional genomics, his research is uncovering the mechanisms behind conditions like Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

@Griffith_Uni thanks!

This work is an outstanding demonstration of the impact and utility of #Zebrafish models. We will help to confirm the pathogenicity of a new mutation in a kid awaiting a life-threatening diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Thanks @Griffith_Uni

JOIN US! We're seeking a new PhD student in beautiful Melbourne🇦🇺 @UniMelb. Join our diverse, supportive team of physicists, neuroscientists, and mathematicians as study how #zebrafish brains perceive the world. Deadline: May 9th. Details👇. Please RT

[FAVRE-BULLE Itia @FavrebulleItia]

📢Anyone interested in doing an Honours project in Brisbane? And in the cool model that zebrafish is??
We have a very interesting project on the short term effects of noradrenergic system impairment in zebrafish.

special congrats to @_alishatromp and Fangfei Guo! 💪💪💪🐟🐟🐟👊👊👊

[Jean Giacomotto @ZebraCLINICS]

Glad to share our last preprint on this #RareDiseaseDay
Super versatile #miR-delivery approach that enables us to establish an invaluable zebrafish model of #spinalmuscularatrophy. Will be invaluable for #MND too!

#Zebrafish making the show ;-). Seems we are getting amazing results in the #MentalHealth part of the ZebraCLINICS team! In the meantime, seems the controls like the camera ;-)

@VesselDynamics That hurts! Surely it is for the best! Good luck with your new adventure Emma!

[Jean Giacomotto @ZebraCLINICS]

@AntoBeck @Thidathipw I would give it a go! ;-). Looks good enough to me ;-)))))))))))

[Jean Giacomotto @ZebraCLINICS]

Amazing #Zebrafish opportunity in an amazing and very competitive research environment here!

Consider applying!!!

Hi #zebrafish community, Do you want to explore how tissue mechanics and mechanical signaling respond to homeostatic stresses in tissues?

We have an open PostDoc position in our amazing team at the Yap-Lab @IMBatUQ.

@Kazebrafish @nhmrc @latrobe @LIMSLTU @SABE_latrobe @BenjaminHogan13 @HulettLab well done Kazu!!! really glad to read this news!!!! Bravo ;-)

[Jean Giacomotto @ZebraCLINICS]

@NgoShyuan I would be careful with that one ;-)

[Jean Giacomotto @ZebraCLINICS]

When you left #zebrafish females alone for a little bit too long and they became a "little bit" egg-bound.... ;-)

You can squeeze it they said! ;-)
