Nethmi has won a prize for her poster presentation at the Australian C. elegans Symposium!!

Her presentation was awarded an Honourable Mention - one of only four prize winners at the conference!

Congratulation Nethmi! A very well deserved prize and a great outcome from your first ever conference.

The whole Neumann lab is attending the Australian C. elegans Symposium (ACeS) held at the Queensland Brain Institute, The University of Queensland.

We are presenting our research across three talk (Joe, Seb, Michelle), and three posters (Ming, Simran, Nethmi), and Simran will be chairing a session.

A wonderful opportunity to bring the Australian C. elegans community together to meet and share our science!

Our review on Mitofusin-2 has now been published in Biological Reviews!!  It was published on the journals 'early view' section on Oct 25th.

Post from 22/09/2017:
Our review article has been accepted by Biological Reviews!!

Titled "Structure, Function, and Regulation of Mitofusin-2 in Health and Disease", this is a comprehensive review of our current knowledge of the mitochondrial fusion protein Mitofusin-2. We wrote this in collaboration with Michael Lazarou.

This caps off an incredible couple of weeks for the Neumann lab, with this adding to publications accepted in PNAS and Cell Reports late last month.

Congratulations Simran, the lead author on our review!

Brent is attending the Students of Brain Research (SoBR) symposium today at the Melbourne Brain Centre.  He is serving as an invited judge for the poster sessions. 

More information on the symposium and SoBR can be found here.

Brent has been invited to speak at the ComBio 2017 meeting held in Adelaide - see details of the conference here.

Brent's talk is entitled: "Phosphatidylserine 'save-me' signals drive functional recovery of severed axons in Caenorhabditis elegans", and covers much of the work that we recently had accepted for publication in PNAS.
