What an incredible way to celebrate 20 years at the Queensland Brain Institute! 🎉 From our humble beginnings in 2003 to now standing tall as a global leader, this incredible journey wouldn't have been possible without our amazing community. 💜 #UQ #QBI #20Years Ahead

🎉On this day, 25 years ago, the first complete animal genome sequenced was published in Science. 25 years later, this nematode is still a pioneer in many scientific fields. Long life to #Celegans research!

The brain makes us human, yet we are only just starting to develop a detailed understanding of its function. What lies ahead in the world of neuroscience? Find out in our latest edition of The Brain Magazine. Read: 🔗 bit.ly/3RDmqZ3 #UQ #QBI #brain #science #magazine

Congratulations to Professor Barry Dickson who was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society. The neurobiologist has been involved with science for 30 years and is known for his studies of fruit fly mating behaviours. 🔗bit.ly/3QOiW4W

Wrapping up the middle session with Anne Hahn from Zuryn Lab 🪱 🧬 Queensland Brain Institute, UQ #BCDBM ANZSC

Congratulations to Assoc Prof Steven Zuryn Zuryn Lab , the winner of the Genetics AustralAsia Ross Crozier Medal for outstanding contributions to the field of genetics research by mid-career Australasian scientist. #GSA2024

Take a look at our article! nature.com/articles/s4146…

We built a simple App to help identify genetic markers for C. elegans crosses. Great for the lab and for teaching genetics! academic.oup.com/g3journal/adva…

QBI researchers have discovered a DNA mechanism that controls how disease-causing mutations are inherited. Dr. Anne Hahn and A/Professor Steven Zuryn believe this could lead to therapies that prevent heritable and age-related diseases. Read: bit.ly/3Mhm5Yu Zuryn Lab

Very cool that our lab will be part of this new NHMRC centre of research excellence led by Prof Jürgen Götz Juergen Goetz to investigate the mitochondrial contribution to Alzheimer's disease and treatments 👏 Queensland Brain Institute, UQ

Nice

Do you know a grad student who has completed an outstanding PhD research project in #genetics & #genomics of #Celegans? Nominate them for the Sydney Brenner Dissertation Thesis Award by Sept 30—the recipient will present their research at #Worm25: bit.ly/3MGtVLv 🪱🧬

Anne from tha lab, has a podcast episode!

BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

This year’s medicine laureates Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun studied a relatively unassuming 1 mm long roundworm, C. elegans. Despite its small size, C. elegans possesses many specialised cell types such as nerve and muscle cells also found in larger, more complex animals,

Congratulations to Anne Hahn from our lab who has won the best PhD student publication in 2024 at our institute Queensland Brain Institute, UQ 🥳🥳🥳 2nd year in a row we have won this award! Well done, Anne! Her amazing paper is pinned above.

This will be a great meeting!

Abstract submission and registration closes soon for the Cell Biology of the Nervous System in Crete. Hope to see you there!
