Happy to share our latest review on my favourite form of cell death....@SCSMonash @MonashCID Neutrophil Extracellular Traps: A Potential Therapeutic Target in MPO-ANCA Associated Vasculitis? frontiersin.org/article/10.3…

Don't miss your chance to share new findings at the 22nd International Vasculitis Workshop! If you have been waiting to submit your late breaking abstract, consider this is your friendly reminder.
Deadline: Wednesday 10 December, 2025
Submit: vasculitis-melbourne2026.com…
Fabulous collaboration between @SCSMonash @MonashCID @Hudson_Research and A/Prof Grant Logan from @CMRI_AUS harnessing gene therapy to deliver therapeutic doses of DNaseI to clear extracellular DNA release from NETs in experimental ANCA Vasculitis.
Extracellular DNA is known to induce inflammation, but does it drive kidney damage in autoimmune vasculitis?
@Kim_M_OS & team @MonashUni report on targeting ecDNA with DNAase I in models of MPO-ANCA vasculitis.

Time is critical in AAV: dampening kidney inflammation prevents damage
Why not target effector T cells - leave other T cells alone?
Our paper in @NDTSocial defines IL-7Ra as a target

Great day out for the Bladder and Kidney Disease Symposium with @MHickey_IVM the Director of @MonashCID telling us how cells traffic through the glomerulus!

I truly do not think anybody loves the organ they specialize in more than nephrologists love the kidney

The horrifying reality of being a woman, perfectly summarised by @_CaitlinORyan
If you give even the slightest shit about women, watch it all. This is what it’s like.

Love this time of year where we get to share graduation day with our students and colleagues! Congratulations to my colleague of 12 years Dr Peter Eggenhuizen and my Master Student Farhana Amreen from @MonashCID @SCSMonash @Monash_FMNHS !!🎓🎉
Big shout out to @BioCurate for sponsoring @ImmuMon today held at @MonashCID @CiiiD_Hudson - event would not be possible without this support!
Our very win @ImmuMon committee member @ZhoujieDing from @MonashImmunol leading the first flash talk of the day!!!
Dr Andrew Bray from @Monash_FMNHS explaining the patent cliff in the autoimmune landscape and the importance in developing oral therapies opposed to injectables @ImmuMon
How do we commercialise our research? @DrSarahAJones from @MonashCID shares her story at @ImmuMon today
Awesome science/life story from @science_sophie from @CiiiD_Hudson @Hudson_Research today at @ImmuMon … advice on how to do a post doc interview in a car and how to turn a job rejection into a seminar invite!
The “90’s kid” Cam from @MonashCID presenting his work on sepsis @ImmuMon …. Super multi tasking being on the organising committee too!’
Today is R U OK day in Australia but yesterday was the start of the Ethiopian New Year so we celebrated with our PhD student Yibeltal who is way from friends and family. Our “lab family” gave him the traditional yellow flowers- we spared him our attempt at traditional dancing!
Another great #ANZSN annual scientific meeting in beautiful Adelaide, home of Haighs chocolate and some of Australia’s best wine! Looking forward to the 60th Anniversary in Perth in 2025!
