Hilliard Lab
@HilliardLab
Molecular and Cellular Neurobiology lab at the Queensland Brain Institute, Australia. We use C. elegans to study neuronal regeneration and degeneration.
We are interested in recruiting talented PhD students and postdocs. The Hilliard lab is a multicultural Neurobiology laboratory at the @QldBrainInst, in the sunny Brisbane, Australia. If you are interested in joining our team, please contact Massimo Hilliard [email protected].

Congratulations to the @HilliardLab at QBI whose paper titled "OSP-1 protects neurons from autophagic cell death induced by acute oxidative stress" has featured in the Editor's Highlights page for @Nature Communications! The Editors’ Highlights pages aim to showcase the 50 best…
Exciting to have our OSP-1 story featured as part of the Editors’ Highlights at @NatureComms! nature.com/collections/bb…
Out now! We found a new molecule, OSP-1, that protects neurons from damage caused by oxidative stress. We show that OSP-1 reduces cell death by regulating autophagy, and can be an exciting target for future treatments of acute insults such as stroke. nature.com/articles/s4146…
Congratulations, Ramon, on this outstanding achievement! We're very excited by the groundbreaking discoveries that lie ahead!
I am thrilled to announce that my project "Viral-induced neuronal fusion: Uncovering a new cause of neurological dysfunction" has been awarded a 3year @nhmrc Ideas grant! Happy to finally be able to work on this exciting project and engage in exciting collaborations @QldBrainInst
Researchers from the Hilliard lab at UQ's Queensland Brain Institute have identified a molecule, OSP-1, that may protect brain cells from damage caused by oxidative stress and excessive autophagy — two processes linked to brain diseases like stroke.🧠 The team’s discovery could…
Congratulations to our PhD student, Lachlan Lu, for winning the Best Presentation award for his talk at the @QldBrainInst CJCADR seminar series!

Had a wonderful time presenting research from the @HilliardLab at the Falling Walls Lab finale, hosted by the Australian Academy of Science (@Science_Academy) A big thank you to the eminent jury, led by Dr Cathy Foley (@ScienceChiefAu), for their insightful questions & feedback!
