Unimelb Centre for Stem Cell Systems

Science & Technology Australia @ScienceAU welcomed eminent stem cell researcher @unimelb Prof Megan Munsie @StemCellsAus to its influential STEM Sector Policy Committee, the voice of the sector to Government, business, and society. Congratulations Megan! biomedicalsciences.unimelb.edu.au/departments/an…

Our first Vodcast/webinar in our #OzSingleCell 2020 series will feature @morris_lab and @KleinLabHMS in discussion with our own @shalinhnaik Brought to you by @illumina and @10xGenomics Register: kapara.rdbk.com.au/landers/a24578…

I’m really excited about this! #ozsinglecell

Great to see #OzSingleCell is back for 2020!✨Looking forward to world-class talks from the @ozsinglecells network!

Exciting news - the deadline was recently extended to Friday 7 August! There is still time to submit your application 👇

The National stem cell foundation @AusStemCell has extended its deadline (now 7th of August) for the #Metcalf Prize for Stem Cell Research. Applications can be submitted at tinyurl.com/y3j78zaf

If atlas projects map our knowledge of the genetics of stem cells, then 2015 #MetcalfPrize winner Christine Wells @mincle is a MASTER cartographer. She's director of @StemCellsUoM; previously at @AIBNatUQ stemcellfoundation.net.au/christine_wells. Enter 2020 Metcalf Prizes: stemcellfoundation.net.au/metcalf_prizes

@kidney_tom @DrShaneRRR @einstein_agogo @3RRRFM @MCRI_for_kids @RCH_Foundation @UniMelbMDHS Good luck @kidney_tom! Here is a teaser to get folks interested in Tom’s #stemcell research. Listen in to his @einstein_agogo interview this weekend - you won’t be disappointed m.youtube.com/watch?v=fKN3oy…

We're looking forward to embarking on this project with our national and international partners @LabDabdoub @mincle @jackie_ogier @OHNS_Frontiers

A great initiative which recognises and rewards scientists conducting excellent and vital #stemcell research.

Our paper on applying targeted RNA sequencing (CaptureSeq) to samples with small numbers of cells is now out in RNA biology. We find CaptureSeq is even more useful on these "mini-bulk" samples than on bulk libraries. /1 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Professor Melissa Little @MCRI_for_kids is chairing #ISSCR2020 Plenary IV: Dissecting Organogenesis, on Fri 26 June 4-6pm EDT. The conversation will continue in the Scientific Forum following this session. For those in Australia, it will take place Sat 27 June 6-8am AEST.

Identifying/comparing cell types in #organoids is tricky, esp. in #scRNAseq data. My #ISSCR2020 poster (S-II) describes using #MachineLearning classifier scPred to identify cells in #kidneyorganoids allowing multi-dataset comparison. If that interests you please check it out!

Professor Megan Munsie, Deputy Director of the Centre for Stem Cell Systems @unimelb will be a member of the #ISSCR2020 Concurrent - Clinical Applications: Neural session, on Thurs 25 June 8 - 9:45pm EDT. For those in Australia, it will take place Fri 26 June 10-11.45am AEST
