Ashwin Unnikrishnan

I am absolutely delighted to be an inaugural recipient of the Breakthrough Fellowship from the Leukaemia Foundation @LeukaemiaAus and Tour de Cure @tourdecure_aus supporting my lab's research to develop more effective therapeutic options for #AML @UNSW @UNSWMedicine #bloodcancer

So glad to be back at the enlightening NDLR conference #NDLR2024, listening to excellent science and catching up with colleagues in beautiful Adelaide, after a long gap punctuated by COVID and parenthood #leukaemia 🙌👏

Those who rest, rust ;) - iron metabolism licenses adult stem cell fate and drives aging. How? Have a look at the new work of Drs. Yun-Ruei Christine Kao and Jiahao Chen @The_Will_Lab @EinsteinMed @EinsteinCellBio @Einstein_SCI

@CterminiPhD 3 in 13 is a great hit rate! Congratulations on the successes (forget about the misses) and wishing you all the best!

Now that the pity party is over, here are the 2023 funding statistics: ✅ Applied to 13 grants ❌ 10 were rejected 💰 3 were funded 🗑️ Some were trash 💎 Others were great Here's to 2024, as I compete for the coins to expand our research program ❤️‍🔥🤑

@SnowdomeAU Thank you for your support of research

As 2023 comes to a close, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our Snowdome family who made this year truly remarkable. Your unwavering support has been the cornerstone of our success, enabling us to fund life-changing treatments for blood cancer patients.

Academics about to clock off for the holiday season inundated with requests to review papers, grants, editorial work etc., it's OK to say "no" or "I can't do it now, but this is when I can do it". We're academics, not robots. Wishing all a peaceful holiday season #AcademicChatter

Finally out! We found that mRNAs are not uniformly distributed across the cytoplasm. mRNA architecture is the strongest determinant for localization. Subcytoplasmic location of translation controls protein output. cell.com/molecular-cell…

15 years since I signed up on a site that I barely understood the purpose of. How could one express oneself on a micro-blog limited to 140 characters? And why would anyone use it instead of blogger/wordpress/myspace? Ah, time...🤐🫡

@KiWookKim816 @UNSW @nhmrc @HHyoty @EU_Commission @professormcraig @maspenno @BetaCellCRE @theCFos @Row_Bull @jseden1 Likewise, Ki Wook. Looking forward to catching up again in 2024 after the break

@ashwinkrish @UNSW @nhmrc @HHyoty @EU_Commission @professormcraig @maspenno @BetaCellCRE @theCFos @Row_Bull @jseden1 Thank you Ashwin :) It was great to finally meet you in person a few weeks back. Let's grab a coffee refreshed in the new year! Many congrats on your successes too!

Last work-post for 23': Excited to lead @UNSW EU-@NHMRC Collaborative Project in 2024. Looking forward to working together with EU partners on HORIZON project led by @HHyoty @EU_Commission (€7.2M): "Enterovirus-linked #type1diabetes Exposed Mechanisms & Prevention (ENT1DEP)"

Happy to share our most recent work. “BRD9 determines the cell fate of hematopoietic stem cells by regulating chromatin state” @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s4146… This work illuminates the roles of bromodomain family protein BRD9 in normal and malignant hematopoiesis. (1/n)

As the year draws to an end, we took some time out to unwind and celebrate #lab achievements in 2023 - a successful #PhD completion, High Distinction from all 3 undergrads and grant successes supporting our work. Looking forward to advancing science and pushing onwards in 2024!🎄

@Carmichael_Cath Awesome news to end the year on. Congratulations, Catherine @Carmichael_Cath and looking forward to the cool science that will follow 👏🙌

Huge thank you to Tour De Cure for supporting our research, allowing us to explore a new leukaemia modelling approach in the lab!

@grimmrad @JasonWilliamsNY I'm going to listen out for this in the next episode on my podcast stream. Would love to attend a live show someday!

@voineagulab @nhmrc Congratulations, Irina @voineagulab

@JasonWilliamsNY @grimmrad Please, please, could you give us a hint? And i'd appreciate if it isn't in the form of a limerick, because I can never seem to crack those!

@grimmrad Wait, wait… don’t tell me.

Awesome work!

@drCarterBawa This is awesome. Great to see that this sentiment is perhaps more commonly felt than it might appear in today's clickety-clack, responding on the go, and at any & all hours type of environment

This 🙌 Best email signature I've ever seen: "It is normal for me to take 2 days to read my emails and 2 more days to reflect on the matter and respond calmly. The culture of immediacy and the constant fragmentation of time are not very compatible with the kind of life I lead."

From one Ash to another...goodbye, for now, and so good to meet up again after 4 long years. While I'm saddened to say bye, I'm looking forward to heading home 🇦🇺 and handing a small momento of San Diego to my #1 fan 👶, keenly awaiting her dad's return #ASH23

@nicolajsmith78 Almost like I was destined to end up doing this, right 😃😃😃

@ashwinkrish I love that they’ve named a conference after you! 🤭

Best part of being at #ASH2023 in San Diego is in catching up with friends and colleagues, and learn more about all the great work they're doing. Supporting fellow Aussies this evening 🇦🇺🦘

@alex_tonks @DCGResearch @BLSCardiffUni @CUBLSResearch @CUmedicengage @cardiffuni Congratulations!!

Excited to announce that from January, I will be acting Head of Haematology 🩸👨‍🎓@DCGResearch @BLSCardiffUni @CUBLSResearch. @CUmedicengage @cardiffuni. Looking forward to help shaping the department as we move into a new era. (1/3)
