New group photos for 2026 just dropped. Glad to welcome plenty of new faces to the group!

🎉 We are pleased to announce @sarahehancock.bsky.social's latest publication in Analytical Chemistry: "Epoxidation-Enhanced Charge-Switch Derivatization for Rapid Profiling of Monounsaturated Fatty Acid Isomers" Read the paper here 👉 pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Epoxidation-Enhanced Charge-Switch Derivatization for Rapid Profiling of Monounsaturated Fatty Acid Isomers

Structural isomerism in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) presents a persistent challenge in lipidomics due to limited chromatographic resolution and indistinguishable mass spectral profiles. Moreov...

Congrats to our PhD student Laura Choong @phenylauraline.bsky.social for winning best student Paul Korner Seminar Series award for 2025! Even more impressive considering she won the People's Choice seminar award last year @victorchang.edu.au 🧪👩‍🔬

Celebrating Dr Banks (@jasmineleighb.bsky.social) and Dr Govindäraj (@hemnaphd.bsky.social) who graduated last Friday! 👩🏻‍🎓 🎉 Wishing you the very best for the many exciting adventures to come!

Featuring our very own Dr @jasmineleighb.bsky.social as Star Scientist! 🌟👩🏻‍🔬 Read up on all the awesome work that she’s been up to!

Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute@victorchang.edu.au · 9mo ago

Star Scientist Dr @jasmineleighb.bsky.social is on a mission to prevent and reverse obesity by unlocking the power of NAD+ - a molecule that helps our cells turn food into energy. Her work could pave the way for new approaches to tackling metabolic and heart disease risk.:

This week our PhD student @phenylauraline.bsky.social & Post-Doc Dr @jasmineleighb.bsky.social presented their work at the Australian New Zealand Obesity Society (ANZOS) Meeting held in Perth! 👩🏻‍🔬 #WomeninSTEM

Started off the week in Perth at the Australian & New Zealand Obesity Society Annual Meeting presenting my work on novel ceramide synthases & their anti-obesogenic effects. Had a great time at ANZOS and exploring Rottsnest Island, home to the extremely friendly and fluffy quokkas! #WomeninSTEM

Our Lab Head, Nigel Turner, showing off our ongoing projects at the UNSW's School of Biomedical Sciences and Health Sciences Research Info Night 🧑‍🔬 Looking forward to meeting many keen and aspiring scientists in the making! 🤩

Thrilled to share my recent work on subcellular ceramide distribution at @aomsc2025.bsky.social’s Young Scientist Forum in Ishigakijima, Japan! 🇯🇵🗾 Looking forward to many great discussions this week 👩🏻‍🔬 Come visit my poster (34) on Monday morning! #AOMSC2025 #TeamMassSpec #FemalesinMassSpec

Judging a bake-off is a piece of cake for our group leader 🍰. Now back to the lab to check our blood sugars... @victorchang.edu.au 🧪

Congrats to our newest group member Alex on winning first place in the @victorchang.edu.au annual Easter Egg Hunt

Our lab is now accepting applications for PhD positions! Join our cutting-edge research team and contribute to groundbreaking discoveries in: - Cardiometabolic disease - Diabetes and obesity - Cancer metabolism - Mitochondrial bioenergetics More info on us: www.victorchang.edu.au/heart-resear... 🧪

Huge congrats to Prof Nigel Turner, Dr @sarahehancock.bsky.social + Dr @charlesdcox.bsky.social who’ve been awarded funding from NSW Health's CV Research Capacity Program for projects to target aortic stenosis, obesity + diabetes: www.victorchang.edu.... @cellbioenerglab.bsky.social

Our group leader Prof Nigel Turner was interviewed for the Guardian earlier this week, discussing the hype and hope for NAD+ boosters as anti-ageing therapeutics. Read what he (and our collaborator A/Prof Lindsay Wu) had to say about it here: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... 🧪

NAD boosters: Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber are into them, but do they actually stop ageing? | Antiviral

Despite social media hype, there is little evidence that the therapies, marketed as pills, shots and IV infusions, have any effects on ageing

Great work from our PhD candidate @phenylauraline.bsky.social representing @victorchang.edu.au at the March NSW CVRN rising stars seminar yesterday 🧪👩🏻‍🔬

Some more behind-the-scenes from our lab photoshoot yesterday, featuring @phenylauraline.bsky.social and @sarahehancock.bsky.social 🧪👩‍🔬

Some behind the scenes moments from our lab photo shoot earlier today. #SeemyScience 🧪

Our latest collaborative work with Lindsay Wu from UNSW medicine is now available online in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. In this work we were able to show that CD38 mediates nicotinamide mononucleotide base exchange www.jbc.org/article/S002...

Check out the latest preprint from our lab group, where we show targeting lipid metabolism can sensitise pancreatic cancer cells to gemacitabine-based chemotherapy. Congrats to our postdoc @sarahehancock.bsky.social for pulling this one together.
