Congratulations to our Post-Doc @sarahehancock.bsky.social who was awarded a New Treatment Innovation Grant at the Pankind Scientific Meeting today! This will support our research in understanding chemoresistance in pancreatic cancer and reveal new therapeutic targets for treatment.

This week our PhD student @phenylauraline.bsky.social & Post-Doc Dr @jasmineleighb.bsky.social presented their work at the Australian New Zealand Obesity Society (ANZOS) Meeting held in Perth! 👩🏻‍🔬

#WomeninSTEM

Started off the week in Perth at the Australian & New Zealand Obesity Society Annual Meeting presenting my work on novel ceramide synthases & their anti-obesogenic effects.

Had a great time at ANZOS and exploring Rottsnest Island, home to the extremely friendly and fluffy quokkas!

#WomeninSTEM

In my final few days in Vienna, I presented my ongoing PhD research on novel ceramide synthase inhibitors at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD)’s Annual Conference!

Thank you to EASD for the travel grant, enabling me to share my research!

Had the great opportunity to present my PhD research at the 10th #LipidomicsForum held in #Vienna at the University of Vienna!

Have spent the last few days sitting where Einstein once did & hearing some great talks about lipidomics applications and developments!
