Very excited to announce a new review from our PhD student Tom Johnson, in collaboration with Glen Reid's laboratory, has been accepted and published in Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology. Its an excellent, comprehensive review of of the oncoprotein YB-1 in Lung Cancer and Mesothelioma. The review article is Open Access and free for everyone to download. Lung cancers…
Thomas Johnson, far left. Runner up 3MT winner A big congratulations to our PhD student Tom Johnson (pictured far left) who was the runner-up at the recent University of Sydney Faculty of Medicine and Health (FMH) three-minute thesis final. He will be representing FMH in the University of Sydney Final on 20 August, 2019. Tom’ talk: Patients suffering mesothelioma are afforded…
In the following powerpoint tutorial I run through how you can use ImageJ/FIJI to import your raw microscopy image files and then analyse and track individual cells to generate single cell fate maps. Note, unless you are also planning on quantifying fluorescent intensity data in your movies, I strongly suggest converting all of your image files to high quality JPEGs…
I am very excited to announce our new review paper which is out now in Front Cell Dev Biol [Link]. This is also the first paper from Dr Kamila Marzec who recently joined the lab. Great work! MASTL kinase is a master regulator of mitosis, essential for ensuring that mitotic substrate phosphorylation is correctly maintained. It achieves this through the phosphorylation…
Very exciting day to see this amazing work by the lab of Prof.Neil Watkins published in the prestigious Science Translational Medicine Journal. A huge amount of work for a lot of very talented people over many many years went into this study, and hopefully it will result in significant improvements for the treatment of lung cancer patients using platinum based…
Great news, we have recently published a co-author paper in collaboration with Darren Saunders Lab entitled "The E3 ubiquitin ligase UBR5 regulates centriolar satellite stability and primary cilia". The work was pioneered by a very talented student (now Doctor), Robert Shearer. You can access the full article here [Link] ABSTRACT Primary cilia are crucial for signal transduction in a…
Very excited to announce that our latest paper entitled "MASTL overexpression promotes chromosome instability and metastasis in breast cancer" has just been published online with Oncogene. You can access the full article for free here:https://www.nature.com/articles/s41388-018-0295-z Abstract MASTL kinase is essential for correct progression through mitosis, with loss of MASTL causing chromosome segregation errors, mitotic collapse and failure of cytokinesis. However,…

Here is a step-by-step guide that I made to help people export microscope images from ImageJ/FIJI and then import and alter colours/levels etc in Photoshop. The guide also shows you how to easily move from Photoshop to illustrator to make montage images etc for publication. PDF Download: Guide to FIJI-Photoshop Image manipulation
