NHMRC support for projects to drive research into brain injury, cleft palate and heart regeneration
Over 3.3 million of new Australian Government funding through the Ideas Grants scheme will support three of ARMI’s research projects into: – Novel mechanisms underlying craniofacial abnormalities, – Unlocking the hearts dormant potential to regenerate after injury – A new model to study how cerebral spinal fluid can help repair the brain […]
ARMI Researcher Wins Prestigious Stem Cell Prize for Innovative Muscle Research
ARMI and EMBL Australia researcher Dr William Roman has been awarded the 2024 Metcalf Prize for Stem Cell Research, receiving $60,000 for his groundbreaking work in muscle development and regeneration. The prize, presented by the National Stem Cell Foundation of Australia, recognizes exceptional mid-career stem cell researchers. Based at ARMI’s state-of-the-art facilities at Monash University, […]
Wound healing is a billion dollar drain on the health system – this discovery hopes to plug it
Scientists have uncovered a key step in the wound healing process that becomes disabled in diseases like diabetes and ageing, contributing to a global healthcare cost of managing poorly healing wounds exceeding $250 billion a year. Importantly, the research published in Nature reveals a molecule involved in the healing of tissues that – when injected […]
Professor Federico Calegari: Re-defining the Brain
In early 2024, ARMI will be welcoming its newest group leader to the Institute, Professor Federico Calegari. A leader in the endogenous neural stem cell (NSC) field, Federico (alias Fede) will be joining ARMI, jointly-affiliated group with the Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden at TU Dresden (Technische Universität Dresden) and will be starting his team […]
Advancing Biomedical Sciences with International Collaborations
The international partnership between Monash University and Osaka University continues to grow and strengthen with the 4th Monash University – Osaka University Joint Symposium on Advanced Biomedical Sciences last week. While COVID-19 related travel difficulties meant the symposium was online again this year, this did not detract from the breadth and depth of discussion among […]
ARMI Returns to Opening the Vault
With the disruptions caused by COVID-19, it has been a few years since ARMI’s last ‘Opening the Vault’ which invites members of the public for a “behind-the-scenes” look at the Institute. Last week marked the return of the event. If there were nerves or dusty science communications skills among ARMI’s cohort of volunteers, you couldn’t […]
npj Regenerative Medicine Hits New Heights
npj Regenerative Medicine, an online journal created by ARMI in partnership with Nature Springer, has reached new heights with an Impact Factor (IF) of 14.404. The journal has also ranked second in the “cell and tissue engineering” category and fifth in the “biomedical engineering” category. Recently released in the annual Journal Citation Reports by Clarivate […]
ARMI Announces New Accelerator Fellowship Program
ARMI has launched its new Accelerator Program, designed to accelerate the career of post-doctoral fellows at the Institute. The three-year Program, which will work in tandem with those already established at Monash University and other organisations, will help early-to-mid career researchers at ARMI face the many challenges of career advancement in academia. The Program’s emphasis, […]
Fellowship Awarded to ARMI Scientist to Accelerate the Development of Novel Regenerative Medicine Technologies
ARMI group leader Associate Professor Mikaël Martino has been awarded a coveted Senior Medical Research Fellowship from the Sylvia and Charles Viertel Charitable Foundation to develop novel regenerative medicine technologies. This grant will provide $1.25 million over five years to assist the Martino group’s objective of developing novel regeneration methods combining bioengineering and modulation of […]
Making Strides Towards Counteracting Neurodegenerative Diseases at ARMI
The year 2020 was challenging for many Australian biomedical researchers. COVID-19, lockdowns and capacity limits disrupted lab workflow, but with a few changes implemented at ARMI to keep our staff and students safe, our scientists adapted. Indeed, some of our scientists thrived throughout the year, one of whom was group leader Dr Nadinath Nillegoda. Not […]
