This year’s medicine laureates Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun studied a relatively unassuming 1 mm long roundworm, C. elegans. Despite its small size, C. elegans possesses many specialised cell types such as nerve and muscle cells also found in larger, more complex animals, making it a useful model for investigating how tissues develop and mature in multicellular organisms. Read how the 2024 medicine laureates’ investigations into C. elegans revealed an entirely new dimension to gene regulation: bit.ly/4dlPE6f #NobelPrize

QBI researchers have discovered a DNA mechanism that controls how disease-causing mutations are inherited. Dr. Anne Hahn and A/Professor Steven Zuryn believe this could lead to therapies that prevent heritable and age-related diseases. Read: bit.ly/3Mhm5Yu @ZurynLab

🎉On this day, 25 years ago, the first complete animal genome sequenced was published in Science. 25 years later, this nematode is still a pioneer in many scientific fields. Long life to #Celegans research!

Fundamental research delivers incredibly important outcomes for society. It was a pleasure to write about the risks in declining support for basic science with fantastic colleagues @DrNatashaHarvey and Mark Kahn. @NatureCVR @PeterMacRes @UniMelbMDHS nature.com/articles/s44161-0…

Good to see PM pledging $2bn to commercialising research but we need to remember that without investment in basic research as well there will be nothing to commercialise.
