The #RegRNALab is now LEAF certified! LEAF, is an internationally recognised green lab accreditation that aims to build a culture of sustainable practice in laboratories around the 🌎♻️ We are currently just 🥉 but we have our eyes on🥇! Props to Billi Ilkovski & the whole team for getting this done!

Last Friday, Irving Jair García López became the latest PhD graduate of the #RegRNALab. His work focused on characterising lncRNAs in response to light stress in Arabidopsis 🌓🌱 and was jointly advised by Stewart Gillmor.

Huge congratulations Dr García López!!! 🎉🎓

We visited Sculptures by the Sea today from Bondi to Tamarama 🌊🏖️ - nice way to recover from all that writing.

Thanks for taking the time to catch up on a weekend and for the lovely hang out.

Wrapping up this year's #RegRNALab writing retreat with some pasta 🍝. We advanced on many drafts that should be out the door soon🤞🏽

Thanks everyone for your hard work!

Proud of #RegRNALab 's student Xingyu Yan, who presented preliminary results on her PhD project. Well done Xingyu! 🌱

Also, she's been an incredible host, helping me an others sort out paying issues and providing Beijing recommendations 谢谢

Speaker presenting at SMBE 2025 meeting

Listening to former #RegRNALab member (now in the Moreno Lab) Jose Antonio Corona, presenting the #LatinCells project,seeking to characterise the genetic diversity of immune cells. Lots of extreme field work done for sampling indigenous populations across Latin America! 🌎

Having an amazing time in 🇨🇳 at #SMBE2025! Stunning venue, great food, company and science 🫶🏽

Day highlight: my first PhD student in Mexico (Jose Antonio Corona Gómez) and my first PhD student in Australia (Xingyu Yan) got to meet! #RegRNALab

Also, Beijing is 🔥

Celebrating the first #RegRNALab confirmed PhD candidate in 🇭🇲, Xingyu Yan!!! 🎉

Xingyu showed her progress on the characterisation of plant RBPs🥬, part of our #Two2Tango project, supported by ARC

Thanks to the panel for all their input. Go Xingyu!

Last Friday we had our latest #RegRNALab outing at 'The Wizard's Chamber' Escape Room in Sydney 🪄 partly to welcome new PhD student, Adiela Gani.

It was fun and we managed to work together to find the answer before the time was up. I wished all projects in the lab were this straightforward !!!

Exciting times in the #RegRNALab! We just got our growth chamber 🌱 - PhD student Xingyu Yan for scale. Getting ready for our #2ToTango experiments!!!

Thanks to the BABS team for all your help setting it up and @unswrna.bsky.social for the generous startup + ongoing support!

We had a great time at today's 🎄 breakfast eating Yum Cha in Sydney. Thanks Xingyu Yan for suggesting and organising. Everything was so yummy!

Working on this in the #RegRNALab 2.0 - I do have an expectations talk with every member when they start, but I need to get around to writing it all up

I'm biting the bullet and migrating all content from X across. Mostly keen to keep moments from when little one was growing up and #RegRNALab events. Thank you for your patience when old content appears on your timeline!

Hello from Sydney, #SciSky!

I'm a researcher interested in #RNAs, and their evolution. My group, the #RegRNALab studies #lncRNAs in plants 🌱 and animals using #genomic and #bioinformatic approaches

Other interests: #WomenInSTEM , #reading , #dancing , #scuba_diving and #languages (🇫🇷, 🇬🇧, 🇪🇸, 🇵🇹)

Happy to share the latest research from the #RegRNALab #BMCGenomics

We identify 3 #lncRNAs likely involved in shade avoidance ☀️🌑 in Arabidopsis🌱 using RNA-seq + gene co-expression networks🕸️

Congratulations to the latest #RegRNALab graduate, Edmundo Dominguez Rosas, who just defended his PhD thesis @CiadConahcyt. He studied #lncRNAs in soursop and was co-advised by Martin Tiznado, with lots of input from Miguel Hernandez (@MKHdez_80). Glad I could join remotely! 🌿

Our latest #RegRNALab graduate 🎓, MSc in Plant Biotechnology (@biotec_plantas) Gabriel Martinez, graduated today!!! characterized DNA-RNA interactions in 5 🌿 species and was jointly advised by Dr Kasia Oktaba (@CinvestavIra)

Congratulations 🎉 🎉 🎉

Lovely to catch up with current and former #RegRNALab members, now spread across the world 🇲🇽🇩🇪🇪🇸🇦🇺
