Very pleased our article is out now in HRU! We scored all available evidence for monogenic causes of human male infertility 🧍♂️ up until July 2020. The field is rapidly growing📈. Read more here⬇️: academic.oup.com/humupd/advance… @OudManon @OBryanMoira @jorisveltman
Our paper on the embryology of the dunnart is now up! Stunning images of these amazing little animals, helping marsupial conservation efforts!! doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.7… @AxelHNewton @itiscolossal @BioSci_UniMelb @Jendometrium
New paper from the Male Infertility and Germ Cell Biology group - congratulations to Maddison and our team We show CCDC112 is essential for quality sperm production and unveil new mechanisms of mitochondrial (sperm midpiece) maturation in the epididymis link.springer.com/10.1186/s12964…
In 2018, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in this amazing course focused on #reproductive #Biology @FIRbees. It was an unforgettable experience that I highly recommend to everyone. Don’t miss out, check the deadlines for information!
Congratulations to Dr @JessRickard, recipient of the Newcastle Emerging Research Leader award for 2024 @ESASRB - an impressive body of work in applied reproduction in sheep 🐏
An amazing showcase of research on intrinsic and extrinsic factors influencing reproduction in our first oral session at #ESASRBANZBMS2024 @ESASRB
Well done, Maddison. Proud supervisor moment.
Excellent talk from Maddison Graffeo from the University of Melbourne. Maddison won the @MaleBCNow award for best abstract for research with applications for male contraceptive development.
Breaking some new ground in #equine #pregnancy - systemic lipid changes as early as day 7! mdpi.com/1422-0067/25/2… Congrats Dr Rukmali and special thanks to @DavidSkerrettB @egbromfield @RupasingheThusi @MDPIOpenAccess @IJMS_MDPI #openscience #OpenAccess
We have an exciting opportunity in the @TDVFGroup we are looking for an enthusiastic experienced animal model research scientist to join our team, to support our efforts towards therapeutic discovery for major complications of pregnancy!👇🏼 🐁 🤰🏽 🧫 linkedin.com/posts/professo…
Excited to see Aussie PhD researcher Bianca Fato's paper in prestigious #Hypertension. Research used precision Wire Myograph by @danishmyotech. Bianca is member of the incredible team led by @DrNatHannan Look forward to seeing the team at Aust Reproduction Update#ARU next week
It's the final countdown.......4 days to go. Early bird 🐦⬛🐦⬛ registrations, abstracts 📜📜 AND award 🥇🥇applications are due this Friday 2nd August! #adelaideaction @ReproductionSRB
An important new study from @SamuelC17727 on the direct impact of everyday chemicals on erectile function - showing genistein, a phytoestrogen found in soy, has a surprisingly big impact! @BioSci_UniMelb @UniMelb @ReproductionSRB nature.com/articles/s4200… doi.org/10.1038/s42003…
A specific regulator of male germ cell transition function has been discovered: CEP76. @biolbrend @obryanmoira @BioSci_UniMelb life-science-alliance.org/content/7/6/e2…
🚨 New paper from the Male Infertility and Germ Cell Biology lab We have identified a new regulator of protein entry into the sperm tail - CEP76 life-science-alliance.org/content/7/6/e2… @BioSci_UniMelb @OBryanMoira
Come join our team 👇👇 @OBryanMoira and I are looking for an ECR to join our research on the role of #microtubules in building #sperm Experience in high-end microscopy = especially advantageous 🔬🔬 @BioSci_UniMelb @Bio21Institute @SciMelb @UniMelb jobs.unimelb.edu.au/en/job/915988/…
Discovery of a pair of genes that work in perfect harmony to protect male fertility, could provide new insights into some unexplained cases of the most severe form of infertility Study by @CarrollDonal & @AnsgarZoch in @MolecularCell ➡️ edin.ac/4bwHpER
🔔 Exciting News 🔔 Mark your calendars 🗓️ for #16thNYRA meeting on May 27-29 in Brussels 🇧🇪 🤩 A fantastic lineup of plenary speakers, engaging workshops, and plenty of networking opportunities await our ECRs in #andrology! Let's meet at #16NYRA @EAAndrology @SigAndrology
Male #contraceptive development is evolving with fresh ideas and promising drug candidates on the horizon. Glad to see the review by Logan Nickels and myself just published in Pharmacological Reviews. pharmrev.aspetjournals.org/content/early/…
