The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Regulation Of The Nedd4 Family Of Ubiquitin Ligases By Adaptor And Accessory Proteins In Normal Physiology And In Disease

Summary
In part this proposal is to understand how the body controls iron uptake through iron transporters DMT1 and Nramp1. We will study the regulation of these transporters by proteins called Ndfip1, Ndfip2 and arrestins. We will also study the functions of these proteins in controlling ubiquitination, a fundamental process required for cellular homeostasis. The results from this study may ultimately contribute to the development of novel therapies for certain human diseases.
I am a cell biologist investigating the means by which intracellular compartmentalization of signalling proteins determines signalling outcomes and cell fate. I focus particularly on signals that regulate immune function and cancer progression.
