📢We're so proud to share that Professor Dena Lyras, BDI Deputy Director & ARC Laureate Fellow, has been appointed as a Sir John Monash Distinguished Professor, the most prestigious title conferred on Professors at the University. Congrats! 🎉Read more bit.ly/3NWNpMp
1/Congrats to all on the @CellCellPress study! Shout out to BDI’s @CamillaFaoro, co-first author, for her work (structures & binding studies) on immune receptor variants found in First Nations people, revealing insights into their immune recognition. More: bit.ly/40qYyMW
Researchers from @MonashBDI and @TheDohertyInst have uncovered an archaic gene offering new insights into disease susceptibility for First Nations people. This discovery could pave the way for improved health outcomes and tailored medical strategies.

Prof James Whisstock’s discoveries include elucidating the mechanism of function of perforin-like proteins and using his discoveries to develop new immunotherapeutics. #AAHMSFellow @Monash_FMNHS
1/Paving the way for possible new treatments of diseases triggered by abnormal cell growth,research published in @Nature, co-led by BDI's @Dr_Ellisdon & @MIPS_Australia @dr_MLHalls, co-first @BJ_Charles @luptoncj, has solved the structure of ‘LYCHOS’. More bit.ly/3XQ9EIl
2/ Using cryo-EM, the team showed LYCHOS is a unique hybrid of a cell transporter commonly found in plants (and not humans) and a G protein-coupled receptor. Read the paper in @Nature nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Join Dr Alex Combes (@AlexKoomz @MonashBDI) Aug 30 for our next #SpatialConversations instalment. Hear how high resolution spatial transcriptomics powers comparative analysis and refinement of human kidney #organoids using @10xGenomics. Zoom Link: bit.ly/3X83UKZ
1/ Just how are immune responses started? Published in @Nature, an international team led by @MonashBDI's @RossjohnLab & @MRC_TIDU's @davislab_oxford, made possible with expertise from @CryoEM_Monash, has solved the structure of a key “trigger”. More monash.edu/discovery-institu…

A decade of work - the flexibility of the γδ TCR receptor to recognise a wide array of binding partners underscores the unique role it plays in the human immune system. @MonashUni @Monash_FMNHS @MonashResearch nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
1/ A mechanism to replace lost international revenue will be vital if Australia is to continue to excel in research that drives innovation & our nation's future economic prosperity, says Prof @jcarrollmonash in @timeshighered
With fewer overseas students, Australia must fully fund research: the government must recognise that lower international revenues will make research costs unsustainable, says @jcarrollmonash, @MonashBDI @MonashUni

In the background, there is a clear blue sky above and a blurred pile of multicolored rocks beside a calm sea.
2/ Government policy needs to join the dots: regulating student numbers must be coupled to increasing revenue for indirect research costs, so that host institutions can pay for government-commissioned research, Prof @jcarrollmonash in @timeshighered. More bit.ly/4cYNdr7
1/ Hopefully catalysing institutions to be more inclusive in the workplace, #MonashSensoryScience — a program employing laboratory staff with disabilities & bringing science to life for those with low vision — has been highlighted in @CellCellPress. More bit.ly/45XK5ZI
