No matter how hard you work to succeed, structural racism creates barriers in countless ways. The fight against racism belongs to all of us—only together can we build a future where humanity truly thrives.

Congratulations to Zoran and team! Our new article explores how caloric restriction (CR) and CR mimetics may help treat anxiety, depression, and addiction. We break down the evidence, reveal key mechanisms, and propose novel biomarkers to discover next-gen CRMs. @SABE_latrobe

JUST PUBLISHED in Genes & Diseases. We uncover a NOVEL role for CRIP2 in stroke. CRIP2 is a downstream target of the Notch/p53 axis in ischemic stroke, opening new avenues for therapy. @SABE_latrobe @LIMSLTU @MAPP_latrobe @latrobe @SSKUniversity

RT @KevinJayaraj: New paper 🔊.Our team under Prof S T Dheen & @JaiPolepalli in collaboration with @garriearumugam uncovers how HDACi reprog….

Had a great day at Griffith University! To my surprise, one of my heroes, Prof. Ron Quinn, attended my talk. His work and scientific leadership have inspired many — myself included. Truly an honor. @SABE_latrobe

Your brain thrives on good stress! New book chapter explores Neurohormesis: how mild stressors (fasting, exercise, diet) activate resilience pathways to fight brain diseases. Congratulations @VerniseJTLim and Nishat @MAPP_latrobe @SABE_latrobe @LIMSLTU .

New in Glia!.We show how HDAC inhibition reshapes microglial function after stroke—shifting them from neurotoxic to neuroprotective phenotypes via epigenetic modulation. A step forward in neurorepair and stroke recovery. @MAPP_latrobe @SABE_latrobe.

Sometimes the best part of going to work is having the most adorable coworker by your side! @MAPP_latrobe @SABE_latrobe

Thrilled to collaborate with my brilliant NIH colleagues—Profs. Guobing, Evandro, and Young—at Jinan University’s Aging Research Symposium! 🌟 Inspiring discussions, cutting-edge science, and a shared passion for advancing aging research. @SABE_latrobe @LIMSLTU @MAPP_latrobe

Australia’s R&D spending tells a story—and it’s time to rewrite the ending. To secure our future, we must invest boldly in a knowledge-based economy. Innovation isn’t optional—it’s essential.@Science_Academy @nhmrc @ausgov

Deeply saddened by the passing of Eddie Koo—a brilliant scientist, a wise mentor, and a kind soul. Organized his farewell symposium @NUS in 2019; will forever cherish our walks & ODPRT discussions. Hoped to meet him again in the US, but his legacy endures. Rest in peace, Eddie.

Our new study reveals how intermittent fasting (IF) triggers both conserved and tissue-specific responses to optimize energy use, boost metabolic flexibility, and strengthen cellular resilience. @LIMSLTU @SABE_latrobe #IntermittentFasting #Metabolism.

Australia risks falling out of the top 15 economies soon. Will our R&D infrastructure decline with it? A glimpse into the global economy in 2050 & 2075 reveals the shift. Travel to East Asia, and you’ll see it happening now. Image from Visual Capitalist. @nhmrc @arc_gov_au

Thrilled to share that we’ve successfully patched primary neurons at La Trobe! A huge shoutout to Vernise Lim for being an absolute champion, and to Eddie and La Trobe for making this possible. Exciting times ahead! @LIMSLTU @latrobe @SABE_latrobe @MAPP_latrobe

Attended a book launch today—a powerful collection of poems about war survivors. The words deeply reflect my own journey through times of struggle, resilience, and hope. Raj is not just a poet, but a dear friend.

Over the years we’ve pioneered research into the genetic mechanisms of intermittent fasting (IF). Now we present the evidence that IF alters chromosome accessibility to regulate gene expression. 🧬 @LIMSLTU @SABE_latrobe @MAPP_latrobe @latrobe .

Excited to present Genetic Signatures of Intermittent Fasting (IF) at #LorneGenome! Our lab at La Trobe University has made significant strides in uncovering the molecular mechanisms behind IF. Proud to share our latest findings! 🧬@SABE_latrobe @LIMSLTU @latrobe @MAPP_latrobe

Our study suggests that parental intermittent fasting can impart lasting metabolic benefits to offspring. Check out the journal article here: @LIMSLTU @MAPP_latrobe @SABE_latrobe @NUSingapore @latrobe @JohnsHopkins @SSKUniversity @UWMadison @ASTARsg .

Do Intermittent Fasting parents pass benefits to their offspring? We have some answers. Now, students are uncovering the mechanisms. Excited to share our work, now accepted in IJBS! @MAPP_latrobe @SABE_latrobe @LIMSLTU @latrobe @IFdiet 🎉.
