Our breast cancer proliferation Cas13d knockdown screen for genetically supported lncRNAs is finally published in Molecular Cancer @BioMedCentral rdcu.be/dIpgT. We show that BC GWAS variants act by reducing the half-life of novel DNA replication and repair lncRNA KILR.

Very happy to share our work of love and a brain child, stLearn. We show 1) ability to predict progression trajectories of diseases and development across a tissue, and 2) accurate mapping of spatial interactions, overcoming constraints in scRNAseq data nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Replying to @ProfJohnHooper
@ProfJohnHooper has received a $100k @tourdecure_aus grant to research a fluorescent contrast agent which will potentially help surgeons better detect & excise ovarian cancers. Join Mater's fight this #OvarianCancerAwarenessMonth to BEAT ovarian cancer: mater.li/ovarian-cancer

Its time we got #MedicalResearch on the agenda in Australia. Please RT, please follow. If our leaders won't advocate for the sector, the sector will have to do it ourself. We need everyone: students, techs, RA, PI, postdocs, group leaders, directors #SaveOzScience #auspol
Dear @GregHuntMP, from 2611 medical research applications to #NHMRC, 366 were judged by peers as internationally “outstanding”. Not good, not excellent: OUTSTANDING. Yet, only 248 got funded. 118 Outstanding Ideas missed out. Dear voters, please ask your MP to #doublethebudget
