Opportunities in 2011
 for PhDs, Post-docs, Honours and Technicians


Developmental biology focus

Dr Edwina McGlinn is relocating from Harvard Medical School to establish a research group as part of the EMBL Australia Partner Laboratory Network at the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute.

Dr McGlinn will have positions available for talented post-doctoral researchers, PhD students, honours students and research technicians.

We invite people interested in discussing these opportunities with Dr McGlinn to a seminar and information session.
Date:     Tuesday, 3 August 2010
Time:     10 - 11am
Venue:   ARMI, Level 1, Building 75

Those unable to attend can contact Dr McGlinn at 
edwina.mcglinn@emblaustralia.org for more details on the positions.

About the McGlinn Group

The McGlinn Group aims to elucidate the complex genetic hierarchies that drive patterning and growth of the developing embryo, with particular focus on the vertebrate limb and axial skeleton. A comprehensive understanding of these processes requires integration of all levels of gene regulation, including both protein-coding and non-protein coding mechanisms.

The McGlinn Group draws on the strengths of both the mouse and chick as model organisms. The lab has intricate knowledge of mouse knockout approaches and combines this with cutting edge knockdown strategies in the early mouse embryo facilitated by in utero ultrasound guided injection. The Group employs classical embryological techniques in chick as well as retroviral methods of gene delivery. Importantly, Dr McGlinn has pioneered a novel strategy to knockdown individual miRNAs in the developing chick and mouse embryo.

EMBL Australia

The EMBL Australia Partner Laboratory Network (PLN) is based on the highly successful European Molecular Biology Laboratory model. It comprises distributed, tightly integrated research centres that focus on complementary aspects of biological research.

The PLN is headquartered at the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute. Current research partners in the network include CSIRO, Monash University, The University of Queensland, The University of Sydney and The University of  Western Australia.
