Congratulations to our PhD student @ayeisha_m_a who presented her PhD work at her final Milestone 3 presentation last week, decoding the #genetic interplay between #stress and #AlzheimersDisease 🧠 🧬 🥳

This one’s been in the pipeline for a while so we’re very proud to now have an Australian Dementia EMCR portal up and running! Check it out and upload your profile 👩‍🔬

🚨 @EcclesMelissa has rounded out 2023 with her 🥇first-author paper @FASEBorg “Quantitative comparison of presenilin protein expression reveals greater activity of PS2-γ-secretase” @NathanMain16 @rodcarlessi @ayeisha_m_a @NinaTParker @AusDementiaEMCR faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1096/fj…

Congratulations to our PhD student @AmyWoodfield1 who presented her final results for her project yesterday, looking at #InsulinResistance in #AlzheimersDisease 🧠🎉

It’s been a big year for our PhD student @EcclesMelissa 🙌🏽⭐️ On Friday she took out the 2023 Student Prize at the @CurtinUni Curtinnovation Awards for the project “MacroMop” alongside @BenjaminDwyer4 🧫🔬Check it out below ⬇️ youtu.be/CwqM_B6TdDk?si…

Big day yesterday with @EcclesMelissa submitting her PhD thesis 🙌🏽⭐️👩‍🔬🎊🍾 @CHIRI_curtin @AusDementiaEMCR #PhDone #PhinisheD #AusDementiaEMCR

On #WorldAlzheimersDay we want to take a moment to recognise and honour the millions of people around the world living with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of #dementia. To learn more about Alzheimer's & the associated risk factors, visit buff.ly/45TuuJX

On #WorldAlzheimersDay we would like to acknowledge those living with Dementia or Alzheimer’s disease and their families. Those who have lost their lives to it. Those who give up their time for studies. And finally those who have dedicated their lives to researching this disease.

During #DementiaActionWeek, we would like to recognise people living with dementia and people who support them, such as family members, friends and members of the community. You inspire and take part in much of the research that we do, for a dementia-friendly future. Thank you.

It's #DementiaActionWeek! The theme this year is 'Act Now for a Dementia-Friendly future'. We will be tweeting every day to promote Australian early and mid career dementia researchers and what they are doing towards a dementia-friendly future, so please tag us!

Proud lab moment with our new PhD student Amy O’Keefe giving a brilliant presentation for her candidacy today 👩‍🔬@CHIRI_curtin

Interested in the role of stress on neuroinflammation? A group effort to get this one across the line and you can check it out in Stress: Immunology and Inflammation Handbook of Stress Series Volume 5 - Edited by George Fink #stress #inflammation #neurodegeneration

Proud lab moment 👏🏼

🚨 Proud lab ‼️@EcclesMelissa took on @BioRad #battleoftheblots and won Best Normalisation and Quantitative Blot with the judges identifying her entry as the "gold standard for quantitative blotting". Known @CHIRI_curtin for her blots we’re proud to see them on the world stage!!

It doesn’t rain but it pours 🌧️ TWO pre-prints out in a week for @EcclesMelissa ⭐️ Keep your eyes peeled 👀 for more to come!

The latest publication from our laboratory and the first-first author paper for our stellar PhD student @EcclesMelissa ✨💫👏🏼🥳 #PhDChatter @AusDementiaEMCR #dementiaresearch #WomenInSTEM

The growing importance of the #gutbrain axis. A short grab on @abcnews radio’s AM program with @SabraLane Story by @NickGrimm featuring our resent research from our centre @EdithCowanUni @CPH_ECU @thepurposedrive @TeniellePorter @eleanorkobrien abc.net.au/radio/programs…

Feels like a milestone type of day, finished my experiments, cleaned up my desk and now just a little more writing to do and this thing should be phinished!! #phdlife #PhD #ADResearch @AdMechanisms @CHIRI_curtin @CurtinUni
