Summary
Mutation of genes are hallmarks of both cancer and neurological disorders. My research group has identified roles for circular RNAs in both these processes. Now, we must close the loop by investigating the mechanism of these processes. This will inform not only why these genes are commonly mutated, but by exploiting the highly stable circular RNAs they may provide early prognostic/diagnostic biomarkers and even represent novel therapeutic targets for cancer and Huntington’s disease.

Summary
Empowering vulnerable youth in Australia by combatting linguistic racism. This project aims to investigate how culturally and linguistically diverse young Australians experience discrimination in their daily lives because of how they speak.The project will generate new knowledge addressing the critical need to review the linguistic disparity experienced by bi/multilingual speakers. Major benefits are policy recommendations to improve health and welfare of the population.
