The lab was lucky enough to pick up a few grants in this year’s annual funding bunfight. Joel was awarded an NHMRC grant with Tom Gonda and Dave Segal aimed at looking at the nucleic-acid binding properties of human transcription factors and a second one (with Nick Shepherd and Daniel Ryan) to examine the structure and interactions that make up a large chromatin remodeling complex. He was also able to renew his NHMRC Senior Research Fellowship. Jacqui was awarded an ARC grant to look at LIM homeodomain proteins and a Cancer Council NSW grant to develop inhibitors of LMO4. Hopefully these will keep us in pipette tips for 2014…
