Proud to be part of an upcoming public lecture at the Florey with my colleague @HungYaHui and Mandy from @NiemannPickOz - we will talk about how clinicians and researchers can partner with families in ultra-rare disease:

This is durian. Chemists identified ~45 molecules that make up durian’s odor covering a variety of smells: honey, roasted onion, caramel, skunk & rotten egg. A recent study narrowed those down to just two molecules the researchers say can mimic the fruit’s overall smell.

We made every gene in the yeast genome inducible with a small molecule. No plasmids. Yes to barcodes and SGA markers. A wonderful collaborative project, and amazing new resource for elucidating regulatory connections in the cell. Very proud of this work.

Today is Global Niemann-Pick Type C (or #NPC) Awareness Day. So, what is NPC? @MarkWalterfang, a Neuropsychiatrist @TheRMH @NWMentalHealth is a leading expert and clinician on NPC, and in this video he tells us a little bit more about the condition. youtu.be/vejBZNlsee0

We are patient-led, global and collaborative and we want everyone to know about it!
It is an achievement to stand up and be counted and we like to lead by example so have attended many, many events over the year.
Andrew Munkacsi retweeted
There are patients & clinicians from 16 different countries across Europe, North America and Asia sharing data and their experiences with the INPDR.
We're working on expanding to more clinical sites in those countries, as well as our global reach to other countries.
