Nick Lam has just completed his PhD thesis, which was investigating regrowing damaged hearts with muscle, instead of the body's own process of filling holes with scar tissue, the physiological equivalent of polyfilla. The title of his PhD is “Cardiac regeneration: effective nerve growth factor”. Basically it’s about the effect of a protein, called 'nerve growth factor', on a damaged heart. Nick was based in the
Heart Failure Research Group at Baker IDI with one of his supervisors, Professor David Kaye. His other supervisor was
Professor Nadia Rosenthal from Monash University. For more, see his
profile.
This year, four PhD students from the CCS
Department of Immunology have volunteered for the task of demonstrating at the Day of Immunology presentations held at the Gene Technology Access Centre on Monday 29 April . We would like to thank Maria Demaria, Jodie Abramovitch, Tim Gottschalk and Erika Duan for their generous gift of time, expertise and enthusiasm. Hopefully these high school students will be enraptured by immunology and elect to study with us!
