We're thrilled to announce the winners of Peter Mac's Lea Medals for 2024 are Dr Dineika Chandra and Dr Abby Douglas. Two outstanding researchers making an enormous impact in their field. Read more about their work: petermac.org/about-us/news-…
“May I just ask you why that’s funny? I’m asking you about the plundering of large sums of money from the Filipino people.” Thank you Sarah Ferguson for calling out the flippant, revisionist response from the President of the #Philippines. ▶️ m.youtube.com/watch?v=nK38S3…
Thrilled to have this out. Eternally gratefully to Pete Currie for his mentorship and the endless opportunities he has provided. A special thank you to @MargoMontandon8 for her dedication and to all collaborators and co-authors for their contributions.
Excited to finally see this work come out online Nature Portfolio. In this work we identify FOXO1 overexpression as a strategy to improve CAR T cell persistence and metabolic function using CAR T derived from mice, healthy donors and cancer patients. nature.com/articles/s4158…
Excited to finally share our work in Developmental Cell describing how Hippo pathway transcription regulators navigate the nuclear environment and interact with the genome to control gene expression in live tissues. 🧵1/8 authors.elsevier.com/c/1i~Wd5Sx5gxk…

Happy to share the latest work from the lab, led by our PhD student Khanh Nguyen Khanh Nguyen doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… eLife - the journal
I am excited to share our paper published this week in NatureStructMolBiol : rdcu.be/dMm6b This paper describes new design principles of CRISPR-PspCas13b for potent and off-target-free RNA silencing in human cells. #RNA #CRISPR.
The latest from our lab is out in Development. Congrats to Marcos Sande-Melon, who drove this work. It was a fantastic collaboration with @jmgonzalezrosa and his team. 😀🔬🐟
🧵(1/2) 20+years of researching the Hippo Pathway has led Harvey Lab to discover that combining TEAD inhibitors with a drug that targets the RAS pathway may be more effective at destroying #mesothelioma tumours.
The final verison is now out in Current Biology which can be accessed here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jbYA3QW8S6F… Peter Mac Research Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute ANZSCDB
