I am a reproductive biologist - reproductive immunologist investigating the role of the female immune response and its cellular and molecular agents in establishing pregnancy. My research spans basic science and clinical and commercial transfer, and aims to improve our understanding of the factors determining optimal reproductive health in women leading to better treatments for infertility and pathologies of pregnancy, and the best possible health outcomes for babies and children.
I am a biochemist-cell biologist, working on the growth factors of the gastrointestinal tract. My discovery that the activity of non-amidated gastrins is dependent on ferric ions has opened several avenues for the development of new therapies for colorect
I am a protein chemist working in signal transduction. The major focus of my research is to understand the molecular basis of the regulation of the PI3K-AKT-mTOR-S6K signalling pathway and how deregulation of the pathway is important in human cancer.
Prof Rosenthal proposes to use the Australia Fellowship to create a systems approach to regenerative medicine by bringing today’s breakthroughs in genomics, proteomics, engineering and animal modelling to a critical unanswered biological question: how can we enhance our regenerative capacity in ageing and disease. A successful outcome of this research will pave the way for innovation in clinical treatment of some of the most devastating chronic health problems in Australian society.
I am a cellular physiologist investigating the role of ion channels, receptors and intracellular signalling systems in the control of hormone secretion from endocrine cells, contraction of cardiac myocytes and to a lesser extent, growth of endometrium can
