Thank a million to @FightMND and all donors for helping us boost our research into understanding and finding a cure for MND!
Our work will take a completely new pace thanks to a FightMND Impact Grant! So excited for our future outcomes and opportunities!
@Griffith_Uni @GRIDD_GU
This year we are investing $20.2 million into MND research and care. This brings our total investment since 2014 to $95.37 million.
Together with our FightMND Army we are changing the future for people living with MND.
Stay tuned for research and care updates. ๐

We were delighted to host A/Professor Summer Thyme from the University of Massachusetts at our QBI Neuroscience Seminar today! ๐
She shared incredible insights on how zebrafish models and advanced brain mapping drive research into neurodevelopmental disorders. ๐ง ๐

Many thanks for this!!!!
Cheers
In celebration of @Aus_ScienceWeek, we want to acknowledge @DrCathBlizzard, @ZebraCLINICS, Dr Rayner, Dr Li and all the brilliant #MND researchers who fight every day towards our collective vision of a world free from MND. Thank you!

Excited to share that Dr. Jean Giacomotto at GRIDD is leveraging zebrafish models to advance understanding of neurological diseases. Through functional genomics, his research is uncovering the mechanisms behind conditions like Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
thanks!
This work is an outstanding demonstration of the impact and utility of #Zebrafish models.
We will help to confirm the pathogenicity of a new mutation in a kid awaiting a life-threatening diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

๐ขAnyone interested in doing an Honours project in Brisbane? And in the cool model that zebrafish is??
We have a very interesting project on the short term effects of noradrenergic system impairment in zebrafish.
Contacts: me or @DrCarlieCullen

Glad to share our last preprint on this #RareDiseaseDay
Super versatile #miR-delivery approach that enables us to establish an invaluable zebrafish model of #spinalmuscularatrophy. Will be invaluable for #MND too!

#Zebrafish making the show ;-). Seems we are getting amazing results in the #MentalHealth part of the ZebraCLINICS team! In the meantime, seems the controls like the camera ;-)

Amazing #Zebrafish opportunity in an amazing and very competitive research environment here!
Consider applying!!!

When you left #zebrafish females alone for a little bit too long and they became a "little bit" egg-bound.... ;-)
You can squeeze it they said! ;-)
Looks promising!!!
