Today is Zehra's final day in the Neumann lab.  Zehra was the equal first member of the lab and will be sorely missed.  However, she has gone out on a high note with her paper (the first from our lab!) completed and to be submitted shortly.

Zehra has taken up a research assistant role with Jose Polo's lab here at Monash University.  We wish Zehra the very best in her new role and beyond.

Congratulations to Zehra for winning the poster prize at the Melbourne Cell and Developmental Biology meeting!

Several members of the lab are attending the 9th Annual ANZSCDB Melbourne Cell and Developmental Biology Symposium today at the Melbourne Brain Centre.

Joe Byrne was selected to present a talk titled: "Age-related neuronal degeneration in a C. elegans model of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease".
​
Zehra Abay was selected to present her poster titled: "Characterising axonal fusion: a highly efficient and functional mechanism of axon regeneration".

This week we say a big welcome to Jean-Sébastien Teoh, who is joining us after completing his Master's in the Schoofs lab at KU Leuven, Belgium.  Sébastien officially starts his PhD in the Neumann lab on Friday Oct 14th.

Welcome ​Sébastien!!
