It’s Squash Superbugs Day! #AntimicrobialResistant #fungi are an emerging superbug threat. Knowing when to prescribe antifungals or antibiotics can help slow resistance. Remember to “think fungus” when an illness is not getting better with antibiotics. #SquashSuperbugs #PSAW23

We are looking for 2 postdocs to join our team. If you are keen to work at the sweet spot between cell bio and biomaterials/microfabrication please check them out! careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/job/… careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/job/… ASBTE Australasian Society for Stem Cell Research vcadarso Nicolas H.

Great start to unmet needs in AMR! The skies opened up and half our audience is drenched!

Join our fantastic team in these exciting multidisciplinary collaborations!

Its a first for me, publishing as a sole author. I was asked to share my thoughts on microscale features for cells and recent work by @SuperFishiAl and colleagues. Luckily it was a supercool paper- this is an area with massive potential! authors.elsevier.com/a/1gspg9Cyxd30…

Just a few days left to apply to work with our team on projects spanning microfabrication and cell biology careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/job/… careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/job/… vcadarso Nicolas H.

Excited to be heading to Brisbane for some cool talks at this meeting (and some sunshine!) Monash Materials Monash Engineering Monash Engineered Biological Models & Systems

Big day today- congrats to both Aafreen and Roshantha on passing their confirmations! Lots of exciting work on the way as they play with the geometry, mechanical properties and timing of cues provided to MSCs Monash Engineering Monash Materials Monash Uni - Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

This morning those at Monash were able to hear from QUT Distinguished Prof Dietmar W. Hutmacher, who took us through a case study of scaffoldomics Monash Engineering Monash Materials QUTmaterials

Whatever your target MSC application, its success is influenced by their secretome. Here we show how substrate stiffness affects this. Maybe one day we’ll be able to match the culture environment to the therapy to boost this effect doi.org/10.1016/j.actb…

Big congrats to Erick Vargas-Ordaz for winning the outstanding young researcher award in the oral presentation category during #Transducers 2023 in Kyoto! #ECR Monash Engineering Monash Engineered Biological Models & Systems Cell & Tissue Engineering Technologies

Would you like to know how to create a microscope objective that has less than 1mm2 footprint? You can ask Mohammad Haft Tananian or read the paper we just published! doi.org/10.1016/j.sna.… Done by Monash Engineering at the MCN!

CIs John Forsythe and Laurence Meagher have published this week on 3D Functional Neuronal Networks in Free-Standing Bioprinted Hydrogel Constructs onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad… @ForsytheBiomat Laurence Meagher Monash Materials Monash Engineering

For those that may be interested, come listen to Ashleigh Gould and Annabel Manoleras from MIPS DDB about a small part of their PhD work involving multiplex imaging and analysis using Leica Microsystems systems along with Fiji, ilastik Team and Anna Kreshuk's Lab and #cellpose bigmarker.com/leica-microsys…

It’s been great to host Jodie for a couple of weeks and even better to see some cool data culturing ocular cells on microtopographies!

There are so many applications for microgels- now Thuy Nguyen has worked out a simple way to make them in range of sizes. Check out this step-by-step guide and you could make them too! pubs.acs.org/articlesonrequ… @ForsytheBiomat Monash Materials Monash Engineering Monash Engineered Biological Models & Systems ASBTE
