22 July 2022: Congratulations to Dr Anne Hahn who recently graduated with her PhD from our lab. Excellent work Anne!
14 February 2022: We wrote a commentary on fascinating work from Cole Hayne's lab in Nature Cell Biology.
7 June 2021: New collaborative paper with Profs. Aleksandra Filipovska and Oliver Rackham is out in Aging Cell! Mitochondrial mistranslation modulated by metabolic stress causes cardiovascular disease and reduced lifespan. Congratulations to all involved!
1 June 2021: Our paper was published in Cell Reports! Congratulations to Aranud and the team and the greta collaboration with Prof. Jürgen Götz at QBI. As a bonus, the papers was feature as the issue cover (see on the right side)! In this paper, we describe how we found that the genes Pink1 and parkin regulated mitochondrial DNA mutation levels in distinct cell types. We also discover that proteotoxic species can increase mitochondrial DNA mutations levels in the nervous system of C. elegans.
14 April 2021: Our latest work led by Chris Brosnan in the lab is out at Nature Communictions!!! We developed a map of active miRNAs in different major tissues in C. elegans and demonstrated some interesting miRNA-Argonaute interaction principles.
7 October 2020: Congratulations Chai Chee for passing your PhD milestone 1!
24 February 2020: Grace Hung also joins the lab as a new Research Assistant. Welcome to the lab Grace!
10 February 2020: Tessa Onraet joins the lab as a new Research Assistant! Welcome Tessa.

21 February 2019: Nadia Cummins leaves us as a visiting collaborator to pursue a postdoctorate in the UK at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Rebeeca Taylor's lab. She will continue working with C. elegans after realising the elegance of the model with us :) Good Luck Nadia! It has been great working with you!
4 February 2019: Alex Palmer has now joined us as an Honours student for the year! Welcome back Alex!
12 December 2018: Our lab had its Christmas party on the beach! 🏖 See the photos page.
12 December 2018: Our paper was published in the EMBO Journal! Tau inhibits Parkin and mitophagy in neurons - the links between proteotoxicity and mitochondrial dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases grow... Great collaboration between ourselves and the Götz lab. Congrats Nadia!
2 December 2018: Anne's review was published at Trends in Cell Biology! Our review discusses how truly mosaic we are at the single cell level.
