Both Brent and Ming are attending and presenting at the 21st International C. elegans Conference held at the University of California, Los Angeles campus.
Brent will be presenting a Plenary talk entitled "Phosphatidylserine ‘save-me’ signals drive functional recovery of severed axons" on Thursday afternoon. Ming is presenting a poster entitled "Characterising behavioural defects of the C. elegans model of CMT2A" on Thursday night. Brent is also serving as a judge for one of the poster sessions. Michelle and Sebastien are presenting their research at the ASMR Victorian Student Symposium held at The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (https://asmr.org.au/asmr-mrw/victoria/).
Michelle was selected to present her research in a 3-minute oral presentation, and Sebastien will be presenting a poster. Ming has been awarded a Travel Award from the Genetics Society of America to attend the 21st International C. elegans Meeting being held June 21-25 at the University of California, Los Angeles. The award comes with US $500 to support travel costs.
This is Ming's second travel award to attend this meeting! She previously received an award from the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute. Congratulations Ming!! Nethmi has been awarded a competitive Jubilee Honours Scholarship from Monash University that will help to support her during her Honours year.
Congratulations Nethmi!! More information on the award can be found here. Today we welcome Tarika Vijayaraghavan to the Neumann lab!!
Tarika completed her Master’s in Arnim Pause's lab at McGill University, Montreal, Canada. Her research was focused on bacterial resistance in C. elegans. In the Neumann lab, Tarika will carry out a PhD on axonal regeneration, aiming to define the mechanisms responsible for axonal fusion. You can find out more about Tarika here. Our paper on regenerative axonal fusion is now under review at PNAS!!
This would be the Neumann lab's first original research paper. This paper was previously rejected after 'review' by eLIFE. Update March 7th, 2017: Unfortunately after 52 days in review, our paper has been rejected. We received comments from 2 reviewers, neither who provided anything constructive (one provided a single sentence review). Thus, this has been a very frustrating first experience with eLIFE, as after waiting 52 days to hear back, we have gained nothing. We would have at least expected to receive critical feedback to help us improve the manuscript. After this experience we will seriously question if it is worth sending any of our future research to this journal. Update March 15th, 2017: We have now submitted our paper to PNAS. This week we welcome Hanadi Hoblos to the Neumann lab!
Hanadi joins us for an undergraduate research project (DEV3990) spanning 12 weeks. She will be working with Michelle on understanding how connections between neurons (synapses) are maintained. More specifically, she will be defining the importance of microtubule stability on maintaining synaptic connections. Welcome Hanadi. Today we welcome Dr Gursimran Chandhok to the Neumann lab!!
Simran completed her PhD in Hartmut Schmidt's lab at the University of Muenster, Germany. Her research focused on the characterization of different ATP7B mutants identified in patients with Wilson disease (a rare metabolic liver disorder) In the Neumann lab, Simran will join the CMT team, aiming to discover novel genetic modifiers of the gene that causes CMT type 2A. You can find out more about Simran's doctoral research and previous publications here. Ming has been awarded a highly competitive Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute travel award!
This award will allow Ming to present her research at the 2017 International C. elegans meeting held in Los Angeles in June. Congratulations Ming! |
