Sudden cardiac arrest in the young: development of a statewide registry in Victoria
About the talk: Sudden cardiac arrest in the young (1-50) is a common condition, affecting 3000 Australians nationally with 90% mortality. In Victoria, the End Unexplained Cardiac Death (EndUCD) registry commenced in 2019, with prospective collection of all out-of-hospital cardiac arrests attended by Ambulance Victoria. These cardiac arrests have comprehensive adjudication against hospital and forensic data, ...Event Type: Seminars/WebinarDate -

Effects of stroke beyond the brain
About the talk: In this presentation, Connie will go through some of our recent published and unpublished work on the effect of stroke on the lung neutrophil function and gut barrier integrity. Connie and her team believe revealing the underlying mechanisms behind stroke-induced impairment of these vulnerable mucosal sites will lead to the discovery of ...Event Type:Date -
Comprehensive Genetic Analysis of the Human Lipidome Identifies Novel Loci Controlling Lipid Homeostasis
Abstract: Lipids comprise thousands of individual species, spanning many classes and subclasses and are integral to cellular signalling, metabolism and function. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of lipid species can provide novel insights into human physiology, inborn errors of metabolism andmechanisms for complex traits and diseases. We integrated lipidomics and genomics to unravel the genetic architecture ...Event Type: Seminars/WebinarDate -

PI3Kα signalling contributes to lysosome repopulation via INPP4B
About the talk: INPP4B suppresses PI3K/AKT signalling by converting PI(3,4)P 2 to PI(3)P and we recently demonstrated INPP4B facilitates class PI3Kα crosstalk with Wnt signalling in ER+ve breast cancer on late endosomes. We observed in these studies that the conversion ofPI(3,4)P 2 to PI(3)P on late endosomes by INPP4B, was associated an increase in the ...Event Type:Date -
Made by cells for cells: harnessing extracellular vesicles for a healthier and sustainable future
About the talk: Traditional medicine has only taken us so far in promoting tissue regeneration. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) – cell-drived membranous nano-structures – have been hailed as the next generation in regenerative medicine. EVs ferry hundreds of bioactive molecules such as proteins, lipids and RNAs to synergistically influence the behaviour of multiple target cells in a ...Event Type: Seminars/WebinarDate -
The role of extracellular matrix signalling in blood vessel development and disease
About the talk: Our blood vessel system is an extremely complex network consisting of distinct vessel types including arteries, capillaries and veins. These different vessel beds also experience local environmental cues that drive tissue specific vascular network through organotypic differentiation. Transmembrane integrin heterodimers formed by a-and β-subunits are the major adhesion receptors that reside at the ...Event Type: Seminars/WebinarDate -
Detection of repeat expansions and their role in Mendelian and complex disorders
About the talk: The human genome contains many types of repetitive material including short tandem repeats. Expansions of short tandem repeats can cause rare diseases including Friedreich’s ataxia and Huntington’s disease but are also responsible for GWAS hits such as the C9orf72 repeat expansion in motor neuron disease. In recent years several methods have been developed ...Event Type: Seminars/WebinarDate
