Today I had the opportunity to present my PhD work at the #APMC13 conference in Brisbane, where I talked about my approach to automate image analysis of goblet cells. 🔬🎨 Looking forward to the rest of the conference and thanks to all the organisers! @INMLAB @AmmsStudent

Having a blast at @LBBB_meeting, I have already learnt so much and am excited to keep the discussions going over the next few days. Thanks for having me @LBBB_meeting and to the wonderful organisers (Kristen, Ada, Alain, Khalil, Alyce) for such a great meeting so far.
A fantastic kick-off of #LBBB2024 with our 1st session in ENS Development and Stem Cell Therapies. We had an engaging discussion session with @melanie_scharr @NS_Mahdavian @RhianStavely

So great to see this out! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 Congratulations @pr4deepr. This was a huge effort (with many international collaborators) to develop an image analysis toolbox that I’m certain will support many researchers in the neuro-gastro community @ANGMA_AU @INMLAB @MIPS_Australia

Such an important day for raising awareness of #RareDisease like EB! In @INMLAB @MIPS_Australia we are proud to work with @DEBRAAustralia @EBResearch and @MCRI_for_kids to research the underlying mechanisms of EB pain, in the hope of developing new, safe analgesics for EB kids
Today is #RareDiseaseDay A day to raise awareness of rare diseases, including Epidermolysis Bullosa 🦋 #CureEB #ResearchtheCure #EpidermolysisBullosa #EB #Research

Thrilled to discuss my PhD research with @DrShaneRRR on #20phds20mins @einstein_agogo @3RRRFM this Sunday. Tune in from 11am to hear about the importance of the little brain of your gut (enteric nervous system) in paediatric gastrointestinal disease and more! @INMLAB
ANNOUNCEMENT - Below are the successful applicants for #20phds20mins Group #8 (Part1) who will be on @einstein_agogo @3RRRFM this coming Sunday from 11am. We received an amazing number of applications - so there will be a 'Part 2' in a few weeks. rrr.org.au

New NK1R study out now in PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22… Led by Nigel Bunnett @NYU, the study developed new humanized NK1R knock-in (long & short isoform) mice & netupitant analogs with distinct lipophilicity and pKa to show the importance of signaling from endosomes for pain

🙌🏼 go @MatthewRowe_ and @NS_Mahdavian !!! Such cool projects in the @INMLAB @MIPS_Australia - who wouldn’t want to listen to @3RRRFM on a Sunday for some @einstein_agogo rapid fire science 🔥
Very excited to be talking about my PhD research this Sunday with @DrShaneRRR on @einstein_agogo as part of the #20phds20mins. I’ll be talking about the role of the mucus barrier in gastrointestinal disease!

Thank you Lauren Weston and Susan @srobertson for hosting our new PhD student Dhanya at the EB clinic @RCHMelbourne in Melbourne. To witness the resilience of patients (& parents) with the painful rare skin condition #EpidermolysisBullosa (EB) is both heartbreaking and inspiring

Had an absolute ball sharing my research into immunity today thanks to @HRM_MIPS and @WinC_RACI_VIC! Loved sharing the microphone with @enyuanc and @micc_mah. Was great to pair it with a local chocolate tasting too. 👩🏼‍🔬🧪🍫

Looking forward to being there and presenting our latest analgesic nanoparticle study from @INMLAB @MIPS_Australia. A 3yr wait to reconnect with #bionano friends and collaborators in Sydney has been too long!!!
Looking forward to welcoming national and international representatives of the #bionano community to @UNSW for the 12th International Nanomedicine Conference! Last chance for registrations - closing tonight 11:59 PM AEST buff.ly/3HvN2Ew @KrisKilian @MK_CCI

This publication is the last project I worked in during my time at @MIPS_Australia , but I hope @NikVeldhuis that we can continue collaborating for many more years! Congrats from the other side of the world.
Our latest study has just landed @Biomaterials_: doi.org/10.1016/j.biomateria… A great @MIPS_Australia and @nyuniversity collaboration using slow release "nanostars" for an intracellular "drug infusion" of NK1R blockers to enhance analgesia in chronic pain. Thanks to all involved! 👏
