We are delighted to fund PhD student Meg Iminitoff to travel to Professor Schaaf’s Lab in Europe this month to learn how to utilise human cells for epigenetics research.

This knowledge and training will be utilised in the up and coming FPWR funded project with Associate Professor Marnie Blewitt exploring the viability of activating the MAGEL2 gene.

This important piece of work builds on the last 3 years of work understanding the relationship between the gene MAGEL2 and protein SMCHD1 by A Prof Marnie Blewitt, and is hopefully one of many collaborations between PWRFA and FPWR.

We wish Meg safe travels and look forward to hearing the research study results late in 2020.
