Eight Hudson Institute of Medical Research
PhD students and researchers have been awarded Hudson Institute and Harold
Mitchell Travel Awards. The 2016 grants were announced by Hudson Director,
Professor Bryan Williams.
The travel awards are administered annually
by the Institute to assist PhD students and post-doctoral researchers to
undertake travel to present at conferences, visit laboratories, give talks at
universities, and network with researchers and peers within their field.
Harold Mitchell Post Doctoral Travel
Fellowship:
Dan Garama (CCR)
Dan will use the Harold Mitchell Foundation
Travel Award to attend and present his research at the 64th American Society of
Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) conference in San Antonio, Texas, where he is also
enrolled in a week long advanced mass spectrometry workshop to learn cutting
edge techniques. In addition Dan will visit collaborators in the renowned QB3
at UC Berkeley, California, to utilise specialist equipment and gain further
knowledge that he will also use to extend the analysis capabilities of local
proteomic facilities
Bryan Leaw (TRC)
Bryan will travel to Paris, France and
Sweden to give an invited presentation on his work on perinatal brain injury.
He will also visit world-leading labs in the field of brain injury and
inflammation, to substantially advance the Hudson's capabilities and standing
at an international level.
Jemma Evans (CRH)
Jemma will travel to France to give an
invited talk at the Ovarian Club meeting in Paris covering the adverse impact
of inflammatory insults on endometrial receptivity and embryo implantation. She
will then travel to the UK to visit collaborator Professor Jan Brosens at the
University of Warwick to further their collaboration examining uterine
inflammatory factors on endometrial stem cell function, the subject of a joint
NHMRC grant application in 2016. The pair will also put together a grant
application to the Monash-Warwick alliance in order to jointly supervise a
student, and Jemma will give a departmental seminar at the University.
Michelle Tate (CiiiD)
Michelle will travel to San Francisco in
October to attend the Cytokine 2016 conference. She will present her research
findings at the conference which will enable her to gain a better understanding
of current research in innate immunity and its role in disease.
Harold Mitchell PhD Travel Fellowship:
Kanokwan will attend and give an oral
presentation at the 17th Animal Science Congress of Asian Australasian Animal
Production in Fukuoka, Japan in August, before visiting two laboratories, one
in Yamanashi and one in Tsukuba, Japan to learn new techniques for embryo
production and freezing.
Hudson PhD Travel Awards:
Kimberley D'Costa (CiiiD)
Kim will use her Hudson Travel Grant for travel to Heidelberg
(Germany) and Helsingor (Denmark) in June-July 2016 for the EMBO-EMBL
Conference on Innate Immunity in Host-Pathogen Interactions and the 12th
International Workshop on Pathogenesis and Host Responses in Helicobacter Infections,
respectively. Presenting her research at these prestigious conferences will
provide her with invaluable experience in communicating her data as well as an
opportunity to receive feedback from renowned scientific peers.
Shanti Gurung
(TRC)
Shanti will travel to San Francisco in June 2016 for an international conference on stem cell/ regenerative medicine research (ISSCR). She will also visit Professor Linda Giudice’s laboratory to gain a better understanding of experimental designs and approach, and to discuss her research projects with experts in the field. Attending this conference will also provide Shanti with an opportunity to collaborate and work for research publications.
