What's on this week at JCSMR!
| News & Events |  NHMRC Australia Fellowship
Congratulations to Professor Chris Goodnow, who has been awarded a National Health and Medical Research Council Australia Fellowship. This Fellowship will allow his team at ANU, together with a national network of collaborators, to start a new initiative aimed at identifying the root cause of auto-immune disease - as well as allergy, inadequate immunity to infection, and lymphoid malignancy - by applying new technologies of massively parallel DNA, sequencing and flow cytometry.
Media release
The Australian National University acknowledges the financial contributions made by the ACT Government and the Australian Commonwealth Government towards the construction of the new John Curtin School of Medical Research building.

| Research Snapshot | >> |  Immunogenomics Laboratory
Our research aims to understand how immune cells make a fundamental decision: either to fight or to disarm. The process of deciding which immune cells should fight and which should disarm is key to our ability to resist infection and parasitism. Mistakes in this process result in autoimmune diseases, allergy, lymphoma, and leukemia. Moreover, drugs and other ways to alter fight or disarm decisions are sorely needed to improve the success of organ transplantation and treatment of autoimmune diseases and metastatic cancer. |
