Congratulations to AmyHulme on her thesis acceptance! 🦭👩‍🎓 We couldn’t be prouder of your achievements and look forward to following you on your fellowship journey 🧬🔬

Happening TOMORROW at 11 am AEDT, our next National Stem Cell Conversations. Still time to email and join this very exciting talk 👉 [email protected]

Join us for the next National Stem Cell Conversation on Wednesday 5th of July at 11am AEDT! Dr Bridget Milky from SA Health and Medical Research Institute and Dr Dzung Do-Ha from University of Wollongong will be discussing innovations in disease modelling ! 🚀🧬

📢 Reminder: On Wednesday, join us for the next National Stem Cell Conversation! At 11am AEDT Prof. Elizabeth Vincan & Dr. Sam Nayler will discuss 'Organoid models of infectious disease' with a focus on COVID-19. Email 👉[email protected] for meeting details!

Huge congrats to all these newly minted doctors for graduating with their PhDs ✨ big occasion for Lezanne Dottori Stem Cell and Neural Modelling Lab AmyHulme Dr Rachelle Balez👩🏽‍🔬🧠🔬👩🏽‍🎨 Dzung Do-Ha and Simon Maksour

Touch sensation requires the mechanically gated ion channel ELKIN1 | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Super proud to present our latest work led by Sam Sampurna Chakrabarti , we identified ELKIN1 as necessary for normal touch sensation in mice and in human sensory neurons too!

Thanks AmyHulme Dottori Stem Cell and Neural Modelling Lab - it was a pleasure to collaborate on this! Meeting at a conference over 🍷➡️ fun science together!

Short twittorial on our latest Elkin1 paper. First figure: Elkin1 talks like a channel, walks like a channel and is mechanically gated. Expression leads to mechanically gated currents just like any Piezo. Most importantly an unusual leak current appears in cells expressing Elkin1
