Happy to share I’ve been awarded a Walter Benjamin Fellowship to study symmetry breaking in morphogenesis using concepts from soft matter physics & molecular bio in Alpha Yap's lab @IMBatUQ!
Thanks @dfg_public for funding! Looking forward to a great collaboration with @R_G_Morris

Today on #RareDiseaseDay we raise awareness for the 300M people around the world living with rare disease.

We shine a light on our research into cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM), which are found in up to 0.5% of people.

[Institute for Molecular Bioscience @IMBatUQ]

Congratulations to Prof Doolan & team who have secured a @MS_Australia Project Grant to devise a potential diagnostic test for Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

The research will also determine if Epstein Barr virus (EBV) proteins are involved in causing MS.

Amazing paper by @MikaelaKeyser and @Lagendijk_lab using 3D microvessels!

[Mikaela Keyser @MikaelaKeyser]

Very excited to share our latest paper using 3D microvessels to examine the role of hyaluronic acid in cerebral cavernous malformations!

Thank you to all authors and amazing collaborators!

The Rule of Two for Oral Drugs is finally out in written form. It´s even simpler than Lipinski as you only have to worry about H-bond donor count and lipophilicity.
"Don´t go over 4 for H-bond donor count & stay between -1 and 5.5 for ClogP"

Feel like an imposter?
1. Realise imposter feelings are normal. Most of us have occasional imposter feelings. But it's important to remember that feeling like an imposter does not mean you are an imposter. From: The Imposter Syndrome https://t.co/Q80kvfZdoo #PhDchat #ECRchat

Photo Affinity Labeling (PAL) is a technique used to study biomolecular interactions. Among the commonly employed photoreactive groups, diazirines have emerged as the gold standard.

Thank you @lister_mp for stopping by IMB!

He toured the @VenomsLab to see how #venoms are being used to develop novel drugs for human health & the @mark_blaskovich lab to learn about the rise of #AntimicrobialResistance and the work that IMB researchers are doing to combat it.
