Very happy to share our new review 📰on the vast extent by which Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T) recapitulates multiple aspects of human aging hallmarks. authors.elsevier.com/a/1fB9O5aZoHcN… Big thanks to @gomez_inclan @Wolvejong and twitterless Hannah Lesson, Martin Lavin and Yossi Shiloh!🙏

On Friday, a truly AMAZING Moon Charity Dinner & Auction was held in Darwin, with @Wolvejong from @AIBNatUQ joining us as guest speaker. Raising over $40k for @ourmoonsmission, this was one of 5 events that have been spearheaded by Territorians in 2022, with every dollar (1/2)

Meet the man who grows mini brains to solve big problems🧬 In this week's 'Meet The Team', we are proud to introduce Professor Ernst Wolvetang, who heads up the Stem Cell Engineering Laboratory at Australian Institute for Bioengineering & Nanotechnology @AIBNatUQ (Tweet: 1/7)
