Our group leader Prof Nigel Turner was interviewed for the Guardian earlier this week, discussing the hype and hope for NAD+ boosters as anti-ageing therapeutics. Read what he (and our collaborator @LindsayWu_UNSW) had to say about it here: https://t.co/YEWquHvqru

[Laura Choong 👩🏻‍🔬 @phenylauraline]

Will be presenting work from my PhD project at @NSWCVRN Rising Stars Seminar in March! 👩🏻‍🔬 Looking forward to some great discussions!

We're thrilled to see our latest collaborative work with @LindsayWu_UNSW published in @jbiolchem. Congrats to everyone involved.

[Lindsay Wu @LindsayWu_UNSW]

Proud to share the latest from us, out now in @jbiolchem: we find a new mechanism for crossover between the salvage and Preiss-Handler pathways of NAD+ synthesis, through a new CD38 base exchange reaction that converts NMN to NaMN.

We're thrilled to have been awarded an #NHMRC Ideas Grant to develop new treatments for obesity.

We are actively recruiting a PhD student to work in this space, so please get in touch if you would like to know more.

[Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute @VictorChangInst]

Prof Nigel Turner + Drs @Renjing_Liu, @Charles_D_Cox + Gavin Chapman have been awarded @nhmrc Ideas Grants to develop treatments for obesity and aortic aneurysm, to investigate CHD genetic mutations + identify targets for anti-fibrotic therapies. Congrats! https://t.co/Go5CnNNJ6A

If you're at #IMSC2024 this week be sure to stop @phenylauraline's poster On Thursday to learn more about new developments in selective ceramide synthase inhibitors. #TeamMassSpec #lipidomics

[Laura Choong 👩🏻‍🔬 @phenylauraline]

What an amazing way to kick off #IMSC24 in Melbourne! Super excited to hear and talk about all things mass spec this week 🤩 I’ll have a poster up on Thursday during the poster session, come and say hi!

[Laura Choong 👩🏻‍🔬 @phenylauraline]

Showcased the work of @cellbioenerglab to incoming Honours students at @UNSWMedicine’s Research Info Night last week! Can’t wait to see all those curious minds in action next year🧑🏻‍🔬
