Our funding from the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Association (CMTAA) was made possible by the local fundraising efforts in the town of Deniliquin.

The local community's fundraising led to a donation to the CMTAA, which was then used to support our research searching for the first therapeutic for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

This has led to significant local media interest in the town of Deniliquin, which more than a dozen news sites featuring the story. These include the Deniliquin Pastoral Times, Shepparton News, and McIvor Times.

We are very appreciative of the Deniliquin community!

We have a review article under review at Progress in Neurobiology!

In collaboration with members of Massimo Hilliard's lab, we have written a review on regenerative axonal fusion.

This article covers covers our current knowledge around this highly efficient mechanism of nervous system repair. Our previous work on this in C. elegans, observations in other invertebrate species, and the use of similar paradigms in mammals (including one study in humans) is all covered in our comprehensive review.

Hoping for a positive response from the reviewers!

This week we have a visitor in the lab - Dr Ramesh Narayanan from Marina Kennerson's lab at the ANZAC Research Institute in Sydney.

Welcome Ramesh!
