Researchers have long known that diet had a role to play in treating Inherited Metabolic Disorders. The problem is that each one is unique — so rare, that medicine did not have the tools to develop new treatments. Enter the fruit fly. brnw.ch/21wHOB8 @TravisKJohnson

I'm proud of every paper, but this one is special. Here with PiperLab @MonashBiol, we couple the power of #Drosophila with a completely synthetic diet to find potential treatments for rare inherited metabolic disorders @SABE_latrobe @LIMSLTU #RareDiseaseDay2024 🧵

An absolutely outstanding night of trivia, hosted by the MAPP HDR committee! Lots of fun, food and friends. At times, tensions were high, but our winners have very much deserved their bragging rights, including our very own head of department @gr_drummond! #MAPPtrivia2023
