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
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 physiologist investigating the role of molecular rhythmicity in physiological systems. My work focuses on the impact of disrupted rhythmicity on metabolism, cancer and fertility at the cellular level and is of particular importance when considering
The cell types of the blood, such as red and white blood cells, are produced in the bone marrow from a rare stem cell. The stem cell uses a handful of important master-regulatory genes that act in a hierarchy to promote the blood cell differentiation process. This research aims to understand how these master-regulators function in isolation and together in producing the white blood cells that are required for our immune response to microbes, vaccination and to prevent cancer.
