ARMI researchers unlock new therapy to improve outcomes for stroke patients
ARMI researchers unlock new therapy to improve outcomes for stroke patients. A potential regenerative medicine therapy could decrease disability in people after stroke and other brain injuries. The new therapy is based on a naturally occurring molecule called ephrin-A1 and is most effective when given one week after a stroke, says Associate Professor James Bourne, […]
How white blood cells are made: ARMI researchers provide gene clue in international study
A multidisciplinary effort by an international team of scientists including Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (ARMI) researchers at Monash University (Melbourne) has discovered a significant role for the SMARCD2 gene in white blood cell development. The results define the genetic causes of a rare hereditary white blood cell disorder, and have implications for other blood diseases […]
Regenerative medicine ripe for commercial success
Regenerative medicine has great potential to create new therapies for people, and interest in the field is rapidly growing in Australia, says Associate Professor David Rhodes, new ARMI Leadership Advisory Board member. “As Australia’s population ages, researchers, industry and governments are interested in supporting regenerative medicine to create effective therapies and manufacturing opportunities for Australia.” […]
ARMI leads the way to fast tracking regenerative medicine therapies with international initiative
ARMI is leading the way with a new initiative to commercialise products and therapies based on regenerative medicine and cell therapy research. The new Centre for Commercialisation of Regenerative Medicine (CCRM) Australia builds on a proven and successful not-for-profit model from Canada, says Mr Silvio Tiziani, Chief Operating Officer of ARMI. “ARMI has an internationally […]
ARMI Artist in Residence Program – applications now open
Applications are now open for the ARMI Artist in Residence Program. All applications for residency will be considered. Successful applicants will have one week’s full access to the institute, supervised access to labs, and can pick the brains of scientists at the cutting edge of regenerative medicine research for inspiration. You will have a designated […]
Industry led consortium accelerates regenerative medicine sector
An industry-led consortium is set to begin projects that will link industry partners with regenerative medicine academic research and boost the growth of this emerging sector. The consortium, called the Regenerative Medicine Industry Interface, will accelerate commercialisation and translation of academic research into products and solutions for industry, says Dr Matthew Nussio, Manager of Industry […]
In the spotlight – studying at ARMI
ARMI students have the best of both worlds – the support and interactions of a research institute and the facilities and services of a large university. Jane McCausland, Student Programs Coordinator, says this helps to make ARMI a first-choice destination for students. “We are relatively small and I’m very ‘hands on’ with our students. Because […]
Everyone loves a giant cheque
To end 2016, ARMI celebrated its first ever crowd funding for Muscular Dystrophy research – with a cheque presentation. ARMI partnered up with the crowd funding team Charidy to successfully beat an initial target of $10,000 while fundraising for a new qPCR machine late last year. The crowd funding campaign relied on three generous ‘backers’, […]
