Both Jacqui and Joel won NHMRC Project Grants for 2003-2005. Joel's grant ($225,000) is to understand the way in which specific transcription factors synergise in controlling blood cell development, while Jacqui's grant ($420,000) is to work on the structure and interactions of several oncogenic transcription factors and the protein-protein complexes that they form.

Both Jacqui and Joel were awarded ARC Discovery Grants for 2003-2005. Jacqui's grant ($300,000) will allow her to continue her work aimed at understanding the role of specific transcription factors in the control of gene expression, and to begin to design specific reagents that may interfere with aberrent expression of certain genes. Joel's grant will allow us to probe the structure and function of a novel protein involved in the regulation of globin production. This grant ($600,000) included a prestigious ARC Postdoctoral Fellowship for David Gell (who has been working in the Mackay lab on a Wellcome Trust Travelling Fellowship for two years). If you are interested in working in our...
