MScR - Determining the genetic and circadian basis of bipolar disorder using Drosophila

Circadian rhythms and sleep are evolutionarily conserved from fruit flies (Drosophila) and are fundamental as well as vital to biology and health (Jagannath et al., 2017; Menet and Rosbash, 2011). Read more

Neuroscience of Addiction and Mental Health (Unpacking the core neurocognitive mechanisms of Cannabis Use Disorder)

A PhD scholarship valued at $34,863 p.a. (Australian Dollars) is available to undertake research in standardising cannabis metrics, and mapping and mitigating brain and cognitive dysfunction in substance use and related disorders with entrenched mental health problems. Read more

An omics approach to understand and treat KMT2C-related neurodevelopmental disorder using induced pluripotent stem cells and CRISPR-Cas9

Background. We recently identified a novel human syndrome caused by mutations in a gene called KMT2C1. Patients with this condition predominantly have developmental delay and intellectual disability indicating the important function of this gene in brain’s normal development and function. Read more

Investigating monogenic disorders of the protein synthesis machinery

Translation of mRNA into proteins is a critical cellular biological process. We recently described a novel human disorder, now called Faundes-Banka Syndrome (FABAS), caused by heterozygous variants in EIF5A1 that encodes a translation factor. Read more

Unravelling neurodevelopmental disease mechanisms of developmental delay: Additional sex combs as a model for ASXL-related disorders in the fly

Drosophila melanogaster is a fruit fly species that has been used in research for many years and are a successful model due to their superlative genetics, vast array of tools, a simple genome that is easy to alter, and the fact that 75% of human disease genes have a recognisable orthologue within flies.

Understanding the neural basis of ADHD

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder, however the neural changes that underlie the disorder are poorly understood. Read more
