A team of researchers have solved a 20-year riddle of how a crucial step in the biosynthesis of ‘last-resort’ antibiotics occurs.

Dr Barry Thompson joined our Partner Laboratory Network as a Group Leader last year. He uses Drosophila and mice to explore how cells construct epithelial tissues during development and how epithelial tumours arise.

Hana Starobova, an EMBL Australia PhD course participant, was selected into the global program, Homeward Bound.

EMBL Australia Group Leaders, David Lynn and Chen Davidovich were recently awarded project grants from the NHMRC.

Over 140 students attended the 5th annual EMBL Australia Postgraduate Symposium (EAPS) held on the 28th - 30th November at the Translational Research Institute (TRI) in Brisbane.

Group Leaders, Associate Professor Max Cryle and Associate Professor Chen Davidovich have been awarded grants in the latest round of Australian Research Council (ARC) funding.

A delegation of EMBL Australia researchers and senior administrators descended on the EMBL Heidelberg last month for a three-day program that included touring some of EMBL’s world-class core facilities, meeting international colleagues and sharing ideas for the direction of future research in a joint scientific symposium.
