Excited to share a huge team effort in @NatureComms showing lipid droplets as more than cellular fat stores!
By integrating proteomics and lipidomics, we found they act as dynamic antiviral organelles coordinating host defence against viral infection!

Lunchtime walk through the beautiful @latrobe wildlife sanctuary ❤️
👏🏻 to @Irumi_A for presenting her research into the roles lipid droplets may play during viral infection and what we can learn from EVs! 🦠

Merry Xmas from our lab to yours!!
It’s been a massive year of wins, some losses AND 2 PhD submissions ⭐️ !!
Celebrate all the wins (big or small), do great science, have fun and always enjoy your team! ❤️🎄
🔈Are you an Australian domestic student looking for an industry PhD scholarship with a BIG top-up!
Do you want to work with @CSIRO and abalone farmers to help breed abalone resistant to viral infections!!
Please re-tweet!!

So very proud of our very own @Irumi_A for winning the departmental HDR Engagement and Impact prize for an outstanding year of research and commitment to building an engaged and connected HDR cohort in @MAPP_latrobe ⭐️⭐️👏🏻🥂
Congratulations to these superstars!! Communicating their science at the @MAPP_postgrads and winning best talk, best poster and best tweet!! 🦠
It’s PhD thesis hand up day!
👏
A huge congratulations to @TimetogoZ on this achievement!
I could not be prouder; you have achieved so much and are a super⭐️ in my eyes.
I am so excited to see where your fabulous science takes you next ❤️

Photos from my office today 😉; a day in Tasmania with our Industry partners!
We love viruses and abalone!!

Happy Tuesday morning from @latrobe; what a gorgeous day for science!
Even though it’s freezing 🥶 😂
Winners are grinners; and lipid droplets and viruses for @Irumi_A and @abbey_milligan won the day! Congrats to these two superstars ⭐️ for session prizes at today’s @LIMSLTU science bites competition! Go team! 👏
Major grant rounds finished ✅; no big deadlines for 10 days ✅
Beautiful Victorian Alpine country here we come 😊!
Ah work life balance; or at least an attempt at it 😂
It was fabulous getting to spend the day visiting ACDP @CSIRO and touring the facility. Hoping to continue building collaborations between @SABE_latrobe @LIMSLTU and @csiro to better understand viral infections across species!!
