Murray Lab

A developmental genetics lab at the University of Melbourne. We study the molecular mechanisms of EMT and MET using Drosophila and human cells.

Double donuts aren't going to stop me wearing my new mask!

Our new paper is out - on the importance of keeping Hox genes repressed if you want to undergo EMT. Congrats to Grace (@taecyeon4grace) and the rest of the team @isabellelohrey, @chaturvish, @jacobcalabria, @jasesomers, @OMarshall_lab, and @TonyDSouthall. https://t.co/AOgkToyItT

@KyraCampbellLab Congratulations Kyra and Eric - it looks great.

@TanentzapfLab The Australian Fly meeting in Victoria is a student friendly meeting with student registrations at $250AUD.... includes 2 nights accom., food, conference dinner and drinks. It's held at a country pub, so it's pretty rustic, but being able to take your whole group is a huge plus.

Our group enjoying an EOY birding retreat at Werribee. 65 species, gazillions of ducks, and 6 Bakewell tarts to keep us going. @EnochCWong @FlySciFionna @isabellelohrey

@ee_reh_neh @arc_gov_au Awesome! way to go Irene.

@Thomashkidd I'm no longer an axon person - but I like the chicken-gal (ab9361) | Abcam. Handy that it's chicken since all my other antibodies are mouse, rat, rabbit or GP.

@KyraCampbellLab @OzEDW @unimelb Sounds good to me!

[Murray Lab @murraym_lab]

Love it!

Drosophila: I love you.
Finally face to face..
.....with our first fully dressed 3D-printed fruit-fly, with swappable genotypes. With my amazingly brilliant collaborators Joaquin Villa @juako and Parastoo Jashmidi @ParastooJamshi2 Thank you @UOBengage @bbsrc. What do u think?

One of the most awe inspiring episodes in the history of science.

How Eratosthenes, a Greek living 2300 years ago, proved the Earth was round, and calculated its size... with two sticks.

Brilliantly narrated by Carl Sagan.

Chaos reigns at the Ausfly poster session! #Ausfly #Drosophila

OK. I know what video I'll be showing my developmental biology class next year. Gorgeous animation!

[Smart Biology @SmartBiology3D]

It's always amazing to see the connection between tiny molecular machine and living cell. This short clip shows filopodia and lamellipodia extension via actin polymerization in a migrating fibroblast. #biology #Animations #education

Cross a pastry chef with a Drosophilist and what do you get? edible flies and meringue stoppers. Nice job @isabellelohrey

[Murray Lab @murraym_lab]

Great review!

[Alfonso Martinez Arias @AMartinezArias]

Sunday morning thought: the ultimate product of the genome is the cell; it's here that its job and power end. What follows, an organism, is a matter for the cell(s) -which now takes over control- and this part of the puzzle we don't understand.

[Murray Lab @murraym_lab]

You are very much appreciated by everyone in the lab - thanks Vish.

[Peter Mac Postdoc Society (PMPS) @PMPostdocs]

Happy International Postdoc Appreciation Week (Sept 17-21)! PIs be sure to tell your postdocs how much you appreciate their hard work and dedication. #postdoclife #postdocappreciationweek #CancerResearch

[Murray Lab @murraym_lab]

Mutant epithelia never tasted so sweet! Great entry from @isabellelohrey in the @BioPS_unimelb cake competition.

[Murray Lab @murraym_lab]

Thoroughly deserved. Well done Fionna!

[Prof. Leonie Quinn @Quinn_Lab]
