NHMRC, ARC and Cancer Council success

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...

Joel advances to high school

Last week, Joel responded to a request from the science department at Ascham School in Edgecliff to visit and give a talk on protein folding - the same talk that he gave at MLC in Burwood a few months ago. Joel is talking with the teachers about additional involvement in their science curriculum over the summer break and in 2014.

Have been off X for months but had to log in to see response to AF3. I am much less smart than the authors - but am I (and Erin) the only ones to think that the helical afros that it makes out of IDRs is totally weird? Am I missing something?

Amazing story from the lab down the corridor - @RezwanSidd working with Sandro Ataide and Ruth Hall in @SydneySOLES at @Sydney_Science - now they will be thrown into the gladiators' pit I suspect with the other protagonists that prowl this landscape! 🙂 Great piece of work!
