Regenerate Newsletter – March 2019
The March 2019 of the ARMI newsletter, Regenerate, is now available to view in the ‘Resources’ section. Here are some of the highlights for ARMI in March: Women Leaders of Regenerative Medicine From A to B: ARMI and Beirut Researchers Collaborate to Unlock the Genetic Mysteries of Congenital Heart Disease The Monash Transgenic Quail Facility: Breaking New […]
Alzheimer’s disease: How ARMI Scientists are Working to Find New Treatments
Here at the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute, we’re investigating the potential of regenerative medicine to treat, and hopefully, one day, reverse neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia, a condition that usually affects the brain as we get older. With approximately 305,000 Australians suffering from the disease, it’s […]
From A to B: ARMI and Beirut Researchers Collaborate to Unlock the Genetic Mysteries of Congenital Heart Disease
Last month, the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (ARMI) was delighted to host Dr Elie Sawan, the principle Paediatric Cardiothoracic Surgeon from Hôtel-Dieu de France Hospital in Beirut, Lebanon. Dr Sawan delivered an amazing talk to ARMI and Monash University researchers, discussing his work in the field of congenital heart disease. Highlighted in his presentation was how his […]
Women Leaders of Regenerative Medicine
Today is International Women’s Day, a day that celebrates the achievements of women all around the globe and across the social, economic, cultural and political spectrum. This year, the theme of International Women’s Day is Balance for Better, which calls for a more gender-balanced world. To mark International Women’s Day, ARMI Group Leaders Professor Susie Nilsson (who […]
Regenerate Newsletter – February 2019
The February 2019 of the ARMI newsletter, Regenerate, is now available to view in the ‘Resources’ section. Here are some of the highlights for ARMI in February: Gonzalo Del Monte Nieto: Getting to the Heart of Research What is Regenerative Medicine? Congenital Heart Disease: How Regenerative Medicine Research is Making a Difference Regenerative Medicine: Today and Tomorrow […]
The Future of Medicine: Regenerative Medicine (Part I)
Regenerative medicine is an exciting and quickly emerging field. By harnessing the bodies own regenerative capabilities, regenerative medicine scientists seek to understand how we treat injuries and diseases from broken bones to neurodegenerative diseases. Conveniently, humans are already equipped with some of their own regenerative capabilities. For example, the liver is able to regrow to […]
New Treatments, New Opportunities, New Potentials: Why We Study Regenerative Medicine (Part II)
The principles of regenerative medicine can be theoretically applied to any cell type in the body. This means that regenerative medicine holds the potential to treat most illnesses, conditions and diseases. Specifically, regenerative medicine can be used to grow or repair organs, whether it be in the context of congenital disease, physical injury or aging. […]
At the Lab Bench in the World of Regenerative Medicine Research (Part III)
The potential of regenerative medicine to unlock new treatments, both preventative and curative, is powerful. This is why scientists study regeneration- to improve the lives of all people living with diseases, illnesses and conditions. But where do regenerative medicine scientists start? What questions are they seeking the answers to advance our progress towards such treatments? […]
Congenital Heart Disease: How Regenerative Medicine Research is Making a Difference
Here at the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute, we’re investigating the potential of regenerative medicine to treat and, hopefully, one day prevent, congenital heart disease. ‘Congenital heart diseases’ (CHDs) are the most common serious birth defect in Australia and internationally, affecting 1 in 100 live-born babies. With this troubling statistic, chances are many of us will […]
Gonzalo del Monte Nieto: Getting to the Heart of Research
ARMI is delighted to welcome its newest Group Leader, Dr Gonzalo del Monte Nieto. A native Spaniard, Gonzalo brings with him the combined specialisation of developmental biology and heart research, which he has cultivated over the past thirteen years at the lab bench. Moving over from the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute in Sydney (having spent the previous […]
