We were thrilled to welcome six new honours students to ARMI this month! They join four honours students who started in mid-2025. Together they are tackling some of the most important questions in regenerative medicine – from how Alzheimer's disease develops in the brain, to how the body repairs damaged muscle, to the genetics of how our faces form.
ARMI is Australia's only research institute dedicated to regenerative medicine. Our honours program gives students the chance to work as researchers from day one, alongside postdocs, PhD candidates and group leaders who are all working in the same field. Our institute has a strong community feel and students are known here as colleagues. If you know someone considering honours study in science, we would love to hear from them. Full details about the program, including current research areas and how to apply, are at the link in the comments.

We often think of the heart forming according to a genetic blueprint. But blood flow itself may play a role in shaping it. As the early heart starts beating, the movement of blood creates physical forces that guide how valves develop.

In a new ARMI review, researchers show how disrupting blood flow in model systems like zebrafish can change how valves form. This work could help explain why so many congenital heart defects affect the valves, and how we might detect or treat them earlier.

Congratulations to ARMI postdocs Dr Macsue Jacques and Dr Jean Tan on being selected for QUT’s Bridge Program.

The program focuses on how research moves beyond the lab and into real-world therapies, connecting science with clinical, regulatory and commercial pathways. Read more about their work and what this means at the link in the comments.

Meet Anna, one of ARMI’s two social media ambassadors for 2026.

Anna is a PhD researcher delving into the mysteries of DNA methylation, the chemical signature that orchestrates gene activity across our genome.

Instead of focusing on isolated genetic markers, Anna is exploring the sweeping patterns that shape how methylation is organised into intricate, coordinated regions. Her research asks whether ageing is, at its core, a gradual unravelling of this delicate architecture.

Drawing on advanced long-read DNA sequencing from more than 5,000 people aged 18 to 90, Anna is charting the first-ever population-scale map of how our epigenetic landscape is both preserved and transformed throughout life.

Follow along as Anna and her fellow ambassador Thamodi share some of their experiences at ARMI.

Meet Thamodi, one of ARMI’s two social media ambassadors for 2026.

Thamodi is a PhD researcher exploring why brain cancer cells grow so rapidly. Her work builds on discoveries from regenerative biology, where she investigates whether a ‘growth switch’ that normally helps the body repair itself can be hijacked by brain cancer cells to drive uncontrolled growth.

By understanding this mechanism, she hopes to uncover novel ways to improve cancer therapy.

Follow along as Thamodi and her fellow ambassador Anna share some of their experiences at ARMI.

Today, National Close the Gap Day, is a reminder that improving health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians takes coordinated effort across research, policy and community leadership.
Heart disease, musculoskeletal disorders and diabetes contribute significantly to disease burden among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. These are among the conditions ARMI is working to address through its research program, with a focus on improving treatments and recovery pathways that can make a meaningful difference.
We support the broader effort to ensure that advances in medical research translate into improved outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Following International Women’s Day, we are sharing reflections from women across ARMI about their experiences in science.

The quotes in this carousel highlight something many researchers recognise: strong science depends on strong communities. Supportive colleagues, generous mentors and shared advice all play an important role in helping people build long and rewarding research careers.

Following International Women’s Day, we are sharing a new initiative from the ARMI community.
Recently the ARMI Diversity and Inclusion Committee hosted its first Women’s Coffee Chat, an event focussed on building connection and support between women at the institute.
The session started with a simple icebreaker: everyone received a randomly assigned coffee and had to find the person who ordered it. It quickly sparked conversations between people who might not normally cross paths. We then gathered to talk about experiences in science, share advice, and reflect on the kinds of support that help people stay and grow in research.

Today we acknowledge International Women’s Day.
Across ARMI, women contribute to research, teaching, mentoring and the everyday work that supports scientific discovery. Over the next few days we will share some of the ways our community connects and supports women.

Last week ARMI’s poster symposium brought together students, researchers and academics to discuss the latest Masters and Honours student research projects.

Around 20 students presented their work through a series of three-minute flash talks and poster sessions. The sessions give students a chance to explain their research, answer questions and receive feedback from the wider ARMI community while developing the analytical and communication skills needed for a career in research.

Today is Rare Disease Day — a global reminder that ‘rare’ does not mean insignificant.
Rare diseases affect more than 300 million people worldwide, across more than 6000 conditions. At ARMI, researchers study how cells grow, repair and communicate to understand rare conditions such as Kabuki syndrome, where researchers are developing a testing platform to understand how specific genetic changes affect development, San Filippo disease, Noonan syndrome, Hardikar syndrome and multiple forms of muscular dystrophy. This research matters because many rare diseases are difficult to diagnose and poorly understood.
Swipe through the slides to see how each research program connects to regenerative biology – and why that foundation shapes future diagnosis and care.
