Are you interested in how AI can help solve cardiovascular disease? 🫀💻
We have an Honours scholarship with ACAMI @latrobe and @b_hericka on structural modelling for a neo-antigen identification. For more info click this link ➡️ latrobe.edu.au/study/scholar…
EOI ends tomorrow!
I’m so pleased that my latest study on hypertension-induced B cell heterogeneity and clonal diversity was so well received at #hypertensionasm2024. A lot of work by myself and members of the @LaTrobe_CVR has gone into it and we could not be happier with the outcome! @SABE_latrobe
Congratulations @b_hericka on winning the Hypertension Australia ECR oral presentation prize and the British and Irish Hypertension Society (BIHS) award, which includes an invitation to speak at BIHS in 2025 in Cambridge!! #hypertensionasm2024 @SABE_latrobe
Those who know me, know that I unwind by training brazilian jiu jitsu 🥋
However, contact sports are particularly challenging for those with trauma.
On December 1st I’ll be completing 1 jiu jitsu round for every woman lost to gender-based violence. Currently that’s 59 rounds…
I will also be fundraising for the Conscious Combat Club charity whose goal is to open a dedicated safe space for women living with trauma to reclaim their body, confidence & strength through trauma-informed martial arts!

Honoured to receive the School’s PhD Publication of the year award for my paper (doi: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1184982). What a wrap up to the year and my PhD candidature! @LaTrobe_CVR @latrobe @MAPP_postgrads @MAPP_latrobe

This is a very big deal for Victoria, Melbourne and La Trobe Uni!
In an agreement facilitated by @VicGovAu, La Trobe will soon be home to a clinical-scale mRNA manufacturing facility at our Melbourne Campus. Commissioned by @BioNTech_Group, it will support researchers to advance treatments for serious diseases, such as cancer.
Yesterday I got an e-mail saying my PhD was conferred. Today I walk in to flowers, chocolates and bubbles. I have the best lab! @LaTrobe_CVR @latrobe @MAPP_latrobe @MAPP_postgrads

Congratulations to Dr @marijajelinic and the team at @latrobe University for receiving a 2023 Vanguard Grant! Their project on understanding the cellular and molecular drivers of heart attacks is set to make significant contributions to cardiovascular research. 🌟
Can hardly believe I’ve submitted! Yay! 😁
A huge congratulations to the amazing @b_hericka on submitting her PhD thesis titled “Investigating the Roles of B Cells and Antibodies in Hypertension”. What a wonderful achievement.
