I am a biochemist-cell biologist, working on the growth factors of the gastrointestinal tract. My discovery that the activity of non-amidated gastrins is dependent on ferric ions has opened several avenues for the development of new therapies for colorect
Prof Rosenthal proposes to use the Australia Fellowship to create a systems approach to regenerative medicine by bringing today’s breakthroughs in genomics, proteomics, engineering and animal modelling to a critical unanswered biological question: how can we enhance our regenerative capacity in ageing and disease. A successful outcome of this research will pave the way for innovation in clinical treatment of some of the most devastating chronic health problems in Australian society.
I am a molecular and cellular biologist determining the molecular mechanisms responsible for the neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Prion disease.
I am a virologist carrying out research to determine the mechanisms underlying rotavirus cellular tropism and the pathogenesis of rotavirus disease. Rotavirus is the major cause of infantile gastroenteritis worldwide. I am combining the expertise of my group in rotavirus biology with the power of inter-disciplinary collaborations in the areas of sugar chemistry, cell biology, structural biology and diabetes to expand understanding in these areas. Novel treatments and improvements in rotavirus va ....I am a virologist carrying out research to determine the mechanisms underlying rotavirus cellular tropism and the pathogenesis of rotavirus disease. Rotavirus is the major cause of infantile gastroenteritis worldwide. I am combining the expertise of my group in rotavirus biology with the power of inter-disciplinary collaborations in the areas of sugar chemistry, cell biology, structural biology and diabetes to expand understanding in these areas. Novel treatments and improvements in rotavirus vaccines are the long term goal of our research.Read moreRead less
