Celebrating the wins and welcoming new lab member Anne! Perfect way to end the week!

A great EOY lunch to mark an exciting year of research, funding success and expanding the lab with the addition of fantastic lab members. Looking forward to 2024 and all that it brings!

Fantastic to see this study out on the role of Trabid deubiquitinase on axonal trafficking and neurodevelopment. Plaudits to Hoanh Tran who drove this research! Thanks to all collaborators! @WEHI_research @TheDohertyInst doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… @eLife

My first, first author paper was accepted yesterday. It is such a relief, I has been a long road getting my PhD work to this point. Excited to share with you all when it’s online.

Saying goodbye to our stellar Inspire student Eun Byeol completing a fantastic project on astrocyte ⭐ biology. Also welcoming two new members Melissa Hill and Annabelle Schreiner!
