The La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science (LIMS) is committed to solving global problems and improving the welfare of human societies.
🍻 #Pint25 is next week! Excited to see LIMS & @latrobebendigo Rural Health School’s Dr Cristina Keightley, Dr Mwila Kabwe (Tucci Group) and Dr Tata Santosh Rama Bhadra Rao (Irving Group) present their research in Bendigo on 19 – 20 May! Book now 👉 pintofscience.com.au/events/bendigo
🧠 We're so excited to see LIMS, @LaTrobe_CVR and @SABE_latrobe's Dr Helena Kim awarded @latrobe's Tracey Banivanua Mar Fellowship - both wonderful recognition, and incredible support to further her critical research investigating stroke and cerebrovascular disease!
Congrats to Dr Helena Kim on being awarded the Tracey Banivanua Mar Fellowship. Dr Kim is becoming a world expert in preclinical stroke & cerebrovascular disease research. The appointment will help elevate her career and position her as a leader in neurovascular therapeutics.
🐙 What do octopuses, short proteins and AI have in common? For LIMS & @SABE_Latrobe’s Dr Wenyi Li and @RMIT’s Dr Andrew Hung, they are key to finding new ways we can fight bacterial infection in the face of antibiotic resistance. Hear how 👉youtube.com/watch?v=Ese0ND… @wenyi_li68
We’re excited to announce that LIMS & @SABE_Latrobe genomicist Dr Shannon Hedtke as the inaugural LIMS Marilyn Anderson Fellow, to support her critical, multidisciplinary research to accelerate the eradication of infectious parasitic diseases 👉 latrobe.edu.au/news/announcem… #Science
Ever had to condense years of research into just 4 mins? That’s the challenge our HDRs and ECRs are taking on today! It’s all about showcasing their skills and the art of snappy science communication. We are thrilled to have researchers from @SABE_latrobe, SCEMs, LRHS and ONJCRI.
Your brain thrives on good stress! New book chapter explores Neurohormesis: how mild stressors (fasting, exercise, diet) activate resilience pathways to fight brain diseases. Congratulations @VerniseJTLim and Nishat @MAPP_latrobe @SABE_latrobe @LIMSLTU sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
🧠 It’s #WorldMSDay, which raises awareness for those affected by Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Although common, MS is still poorly understood – but research by A/Prof Jacqueline Orian shows that rogue platelets might hold the key to early intervention. Read: tinyurl.com/mv8kmray
