Congrats to Prof Nir Eynon (@nir_eynon) on a Rebecca L Cooper Fellowship (@rlcmrf) to develop the world’s first multi-tissue, cell-type specific atlas of ageing biomarkers. This five-year program aims to improve early detection of biological ageing and support healthier ageing. More: https://t.co/JAoLa7sVNO

Proud to have collaborated on this Nature paper published overnight, revealing convergent evolution in the brain’s immune system. @petecurr @MindSyncytium #Immunology #Neuroscience #ConvergentEvolution #ResearchCollaboration #ARMI

[Peter Mac Cancer Centre @PeterMacCC]

New research led by Prof @BenjaminHogan13 has revealed a surprising evolutionary switch in the brain’s immune system - uncovering how specialised immune cells at the borders of the brain evolved, and why they behave so differently in humans.

Our 2025 ARMI reflection is live.

A year shaped by people, from student leadership and science communication to discovery, translation and community.

The research focuses on how ageing unfolds across interconnected tissues, including the heart, skeletal muscle and blood, rather than studying each system in isolation.

Congratulations to Professor Nir Eynon and team on securing $2.01M in NHMRC Ideas Grant funding for Molecular Maps of Ageing Across Multiple Tissues.

[Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute @ARMI_Labs]

Led by Professor Nir Eynon and Dr Macsue Jacques at ARMI, with clinical leadership from Professor Silvana Marasco (Alfred Hospital), the project brings together molecular biology, bioinformatics and frontline clinical expertise.

Congratulations to Dr William Roman (@EMBLAustralia group leader @ARMI_Labs, @MonashUni) on receiving a @phenomics Australia Pipeline Accelerator 2025–26 award.

His project will use genome-scale functional screening to identify new therapeutic targets for muscle atrophy and regeneration, supported by the Victorian Centre for Functional Genomics (PeterMac).

Programs like this don’t just build skills, they build confidence, perspective and lifelong scientific networks.

Thanks to @EMBLAustralia and partners for delivering this national training initiative.

Our PhD students Brenda Briones Miranda and Thamodi Walpola recently completed the EMBL Australia PhD Course at SAiGENCI (University of Adelaide).

[Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute @ARMI_Labs]

Brenda shared how the course reshaped her thinking about AI in everyday research, and reinforced that communicating science clearly and responsibly is just as important as the science itself.

It was a pleasure to welcome Professor Robyn Ward AO, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research & Enterprise) @MonashUni, to Aquacore earlier this month.

The visit highlighted how Aquacore supports world-class discovery through specialist aquatic facilities, technical expertise and close collaboration across Monash, from fundamental biology to translational research.

Thank you, Robyn, for your time and continued support for the people and infrastructure behind high-quality research.

ARMI joined 113 researchers at last week’s XVII @ANZSCDB. It was a friendly and supportive day for the Victorian community to share work and connect.

Thank you to the del Monte-Nieto lab and the @ANZSCDB VIC Chapter for organising the meeting.

Congratulations to our ARMI award recipients:
• Esther García-Domínguez
• Le Quan Tran
• Adam Rogerson

[ZenkerLab @LabZenker]

Congratulations to Tracey King on her selection as committee member of the Scientists in Reproductive Technology (SIRT). Tracey brings an exceptional combination of expertise as PhD student in the Zenker Lab & as embryologist at No.1 Fertility, a Melbourne IVF clinic. @ARMI_Labs

Some wounds never heal. Dr Yen-Zhen (Angel) Lu is working to change that.

Her work reveals how sensory neurons and immune cells coordinate tissue repair and why this matters for chronic wounds. With an ARC DECRA, she is now uncovering how nerves first activate after injury.

We were pleased to welcome @ChiefSciWA to @ARMILabs for his first visit.

He explored ARMI’s capabilities and was especially excited by AquaCore, our world-class aquatic research facility and the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere.

AquaCore supports Australia’s regenerative medicine community with zebrafish, medaka, killifish, axolotl and epaulette shark, enabling advanced studies in regeneration, development and disease.

"I was energised about opportunities to better connect WA projects with ARMI’s strengths. I look forward to continued collaboration across states as Australia builds a strong, integrated regenerative medicine landscape.” - Prof Sharath Sriram

Great to host you, Sharath.

ARMI PhD candidate Thamodi Wapola joined 130 global students at #PITCH2025 in Jakarta, helping design fairer mobility solutions for Indonesia’s ride-hailing ecosystem. Her team’s model, Jalan Bersama, earned the Judges’ Special Commendation Award 👏

A great example of ARMI researchers thinking beyond the lab. 🔗Read more: https://t.co/DmO05djnxd

Congratulations to Dr Benoit Haerlingen, who played a key role on the Victorian Muscle Network leadership committee for the 8th Annual @VicMuscleNet Symposium at @unimelb 👏

ARMI was proud to sponsor the day, send a large delegation of 24 researchers, and celebrate:
• Dr William Roman as a keynote speaker
• Dr Bernadette Jones-Freeman (Eynon Lab) winning an oral presentation award
