Let Christmas begin at SCS!


CID Weekly Seminar: "Lupus Research at Monash SCS", Tuesday 29 November

12:00 - 1:00pm, Tues 29 November, Seminar Room 1, Level 2, TRF Building


Presented by Dr Alberta Hoi
Head of Lupus Clinic, Monash Medical Centre
Senior Research Fellow, Department of Medicine, Monash University

The Monash Lupus Clinic recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary. At its inception in late 2006, it was modelled as the first multi-disciplinary lupus clinic in Australia, and to combine clinical activity with research. I will present our journey in the diversification of research activities, from biomarker translational research to the establishment of a national registry and biobank (the Australian Lupus Registry and Biobank), as well as other clinical research activities collaborating with local and international partners.
Dr Alberta Hoi is a rheumatologist and translational researcher focussing on systemic lupus erythematosus and other systemic rheumatic diseases. She currently holds positions as the Head of Lupus Clinic at Monash Medical Centre and Senior Research Fellow at the Department of Medicine, where she oversees patient care, education, and clinical research initiatives in SLE.
Over the years she has had significant experience in clinical and translational research, including completing a NHMRC PhD scholarship in immunology examining the pathogenetic role of the proinflammatory cytokine Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) in systemic lupus erythematosus. She plays an active role in a number of investigator-initiated SLE studies and clinical trials. 
At SCS she is the clinical lead of the Lupus & Arthritis Group, and has rolled out the national disease registry (the Australian Lupus Registry & Biobank) which is now a valuable research resource that fosters collaboration between translational scientists and clinicians. She oversees a number of research projects of her students, including the validation of a low lupus disease activity state and effects of healthcare quality on disease outcomes. Dr Alberta Hoi is the chair for the Australian Rheumatology Association SLE Interest Group (SLESIG), and co-chair for the Australian Lupus Registry & Biobank steering committee, and a steering member of the Asia-Pacific Lupus Collaboration.

A light lunch is served prior to the seminar at 11:45am in the seminar room foyer, level 2, TRF Building.

Grand rounds ""Genetics of the calcium sensing receptor signalling pathway and its clinical implications” 30 November

Presenter: Professor R.V. Thakker FRS FMedSci
Topic:  "Genetics of the calcium sensing receptor signalling pathway and its clinical implications”
Date: Wednesday 30 November 2016
Time: 12.30pm to 1.30pm

Venue: Main Lecture Theatre, Monash Medical Centre, Clayton.

CID Weekly Seminar: Tuesday 6 December, "Unravelling how NF-kB signalling controls Treg development and function"

12:00 - 1:00pm, Tuesday 6 December Seminar Room 1, Level 2, TRF Building, MHTP


Prof Steven Gerondakis
Professorial Fellow, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Monash University

We have previously reported that the NF-kB pathway controls Treg development in the thymus by promoting thymocyte commitment to this lineage and controlling the subsequent induction of Foxp3 in Treg precursors. However, the mechanisms by which NF-kB controls these steps are remain unclear. The post-developmental roles of NF-kB in Tregs also remain unclear. Here I will describe recently published data outlining the role of RelA in peripheral Treg function and revisit how we think c-Rel is controlling Treg development.
Prof Steve Gerondakis did his PhD at the WEHI characterising c-myc translocations in murine plasmacytomas (1980-18084), then undertook a post-doctoral stint in the lab of JM Bishop at UCSF (1984-1987) studying avian oncogenic viral induction of leukaemia. In 1988, he returned to WEHI to establish an independent lab during which time he developed his interest in NF-kB signalling. From 2008-2011, he held a professorial position at the Burnet Institute; from 2012-2014, he was a Professorial fellow at Monash Centre for Blood Diseases and currently is a Professorial fellow in the Monash Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology where he continues his work on the diverse roles of theNF-kB pathway in immune development and inflammation.

Please contact Andrea Johannessen (andrea.johannessen@monash.edu) to schedule a meeting with Steve after the seminar.
A light lunch is served prior to the seminar at 11:45am in the seminar room foyer, level 2, TRF Building.

Ke Tang's PhD confirmation review seminar, 13 December

All staff and students are invited at attend Ke Tang's PhD confirmation review seminar.  Ke's project title is "The mechanistic role of TLR2, TLR9 and AIM2 in gastric cancer".

1pm-2pm, Tuesday, 13th December, Meeting Room 1, TRF Level 2, MHTP

Main Supervisor: Professor Brendan Jenkins
Associate Supervisor: Dr Daniel Gerald Croagh

Synopsis: Gastric cancer (GC) is the third most lethal cancer worldwide, and one of the classic examples of chronic inflammation-related carcinoma. The interaction between host innate immune system regulators (e.g. pattern recognition receptors, PRRs) and pathogens (e.g. Helicobacter pylori) contributes to gastric tumorigenesis. We focus on the mechanistic role of three such PRRs, TLR2, TLR9 and AIM2, in GC, and their relationships with hyper-activation of the signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 3, to identify new GC molecular targets to serve as personalised biomarkers for early detection and/or treatment strategies.

Panel Chair: Dr Anthony Sadler
Independent Assessor: Dr James Harris
Independent Assessor: Dr Michael Gantier
