The first #lorneiandi poster session is in full swing! Pictured here is @Forster_Lab ‘s @SaraDiSimone3 presenting her latest data to her former Honours supervisor @jane_bourke_phd 👩🏼‍🔬👩🏻‍🔬#WomenInScience

[CiiiD Hudson @CiiiD_Hudson]

More cutting edge science being presented at #lorneiandi poster session 2! Lots of CiiiDers are delighted to show off their in-person posters! @DrEmilyGulliver @huangushane @Remy_Young_ @Forster_Lab

[Dr Marina Iacovou @marinaiacovou]

Exciting #PhD opportunity - Interested in food, nutrition/dietetics, gut microbiota, & food microbes? Join me & @_sam_forster_ @Hudson_Research @CiiiD_Hudson & #nicolekellow @MonashNutrition - https://t.co/5fEfvot1oc https://t.co/HWVALBkBdF - appreciate RTs :)

[Synnate @Synnate1]

#MeetOurTeam @DrMChonwerawong from @Hudson_Research. Michelle's research in #Synnate will utilise microfluidic-based organ-on-a-chip technology to examine host mucosal responses to provide an understanding of how local mucosal signals influence the gut #microbiome.

[Synnate @Synnate1]

Synnate is a multi-disciplinary team lead by Paul Hertzog, Liz Hartland, Sam Forster from @Hudson_Research & Christine Wells from @UniMelb to create platforms & resources to promote Australia’s #host-microbiome #immunology research @pjhpauljh @mincle @ProfHartland @_sam_forster_

[Hon. Jaala Pulford @JaalaPulford]

We want to help the world-class researchers at @Hudson_Research turn their breakthroughs into life-saving treatments so we have allocated $1m to prepare a business case for a new National Centre for Inflammation.

[CiiiD Hudson @CiiiD_Hudson]

Congratulations to some of CiiiD’s #BigData experts @gemmadadamo, James Widdop and @emgiles1 for their recently published review on the future of ‘omics’ technologies! 👏

[Forster Lab @Forster_Lab]

Marina joined our lab in 2019 for an undergraduate semester project. Today she submitted Honours thesis; investigating the phenotypic capacity of the #microbiome. Congratulations!
@CiiiD_Hudson

[Paul Hertzog @pjhpauljh]

Great opportunity for anyone in the world to attend our Lorne Infectiin & Immunity conf featuring great speakers incl @FitzgeraldKate , @VirusesImmunity

[Forster Lab @Forster_Lab]

Congratulations to James who submitted his Honours thesis today. His project focuses on the interplay between bacteria and host immune responses in paediatric #IBD.
@CiiiD_Hudson

[Hudson Institute of Medical Research @Hudson_Research]

Listen to Prof Paul Hertzog @pjhpauljh discuss the implications of two recent @ScienceMagazine papers on his #COVID19 research on ABC Radio National @radionational with @normanswan | @jamesbullen @CiiiD_Hudson https://t.co/0rz3rgTIMu

[Forster Lab @Forster_Lab]

Congratulations to Sara who presented her final honours presentation. Sara’s honours project aims to optimise bacterial culturing of the lung #microbiome in paediatric patients.
