Regenerative medicine is global. ARMI has researchers from 30+ countries and partnerships across Europe, Japan and the US. Our Strategy 2030 is about making that reach count: deeper networks, global advisory roles, and an international conference on home soil. More at armi.org.au/strategy-2030

ARMI celebrates our researchers on World Embryologists Day, uncovering how life begins, cell by cell, to understand how the biological processes that create complex organisms can also drive healing and regeneration, unlocking new approaches to treating disease. armi.org.au

On World Brain Day we ask: How do you study this complex organ? At ARMI, the Saurat Group grows sophisticated “brains in a dish” from human stem cells, helping researchers investigate brain ageing, Alzheimer's disease and approaches to neural repair.

A deeply supportive work environment is standard at ARMI. Watching Accelerator Program recipients Dr Samuel Crossman (brain cancer targets) and Dr Yen-Zhen (Angel) Lu (neuro-immune repair in chronic wounds) shape their fields in real time is something special.

Workforce is a top three barrier to growth in regen medicine. Our Strategy 2030 is targeting PhD growth, expanding the MBiotech internationally, and delivering the career pathways the sector needs. More at armi.org.au/strategy-2030

Double success for the Zenker Group at the ASSCR Victoria EMCR Symposium! Hongbin Jin won Best EMCR Flash Talk and Oliver Anderson won Best EMCR Lightning Talk. Adam Rogerson also delivered an outstanding Lightning Talk.

Big news from ARMI! Dr Nathalie Saurat & A/Prof Fabrice Jaffré have been awarded Pipeline Accelerator 2025-2026 (Round 2) vouchers to access the Victorian Centre for Functional Genomics, accelerating Alzheimer’s and heart disease therapeutics. Full story: armi.org.au/news-media/m...

200+ researchers from 30+ countries. ARMI’s Strategy 2030 articulates how our team will deliver ambitious but achievable outcomes: first-in-human clinical trials, two program grants and 22 Group Leaders, within five years. More at armi.org.au/strategy-2030

🖤💛❤️ NAIDOC Week started this week. 50 years of NAIDOC. Show your support: stream First Nations music, watch a First Nations film, buy from a Blak business (check where the profits go) and follow First Nations accounts. #NAIDOC2026 #NAIDOCWeek #50YearsOfDeadly

At our Strategy 2030 launch, Victoria's Lead Scientist said co-location shortens the distance from lab to patient. ARMI already has three spinout companies and one product in development. The co-location integral to ARMI's strategy will see us develop more of both: armi.org.au/strategy-2030

ARMI’s A/P Jenny Zenker is now an associate editor for the journal Cell Biology International. As the only Australian on the editorial team, Jenny’s progressive style and research kudos will boost the journal’s reputation in our region. Learn more about Jenny’s research: armi.org.au/our-groups/z...

Too many promising regenerative medicine discoveries stall before reaching the people who need them. At our Strategy 2030 launch Sen. Dr Ananda-Rajah called it the ‘valley of death’. Our Clinical Translation strategic pillar details our plan to cross that valley. More at armi.org.au/strategy-2030

Your brain ages nothing like your liver. A new ARMI study has mapped ageing across 17 human organs and found one gene that seems to be central to how cells coordinate as the body ages. Full story on our website: armi.org.au/news-media/m... @nireynon.bsky.social

ARMI’s Strategy 2030 launched in April. Six pillars focused on three goals: a therapeutic into first-in-human trials, two major programmatic grants secured, and PhD enrolment growth to help close a sector-wide workforce gap. We’ll share more in coming weeks. armi.org.au/strategy-2030/

Full room at ARMI this week for A/Prof Emily Wong from @victorchang.edu.au. Topic: how ageing and exercise rewire gene regulation in the heart. We know exercise protects the ageing heart; Emily’s seminar covered what's happening at the genome level to make that true.

Modern biology generates more genetic data than anyone can manually sort. ARMI's new AI tool can sift through that data and identify which genes are driving a disease, which might flag it early, and which are relaying signals between the two. Read more bit.ly/4vOhQbE.

Your liver and brain cells carry identical DNA. What makes them different is which genes are ​silent​​​​​. Researchers at ARMI and BDI have found how a protein complex adjusts the level of gene silencing so cells can maintain their identity. New paper in Molecular Cell. armi.org.au/news-media/m...

ARMI's 2025 Annual Report is out now. Muscle regeneration, Alzheimer's models and skeletal self-repair are all featured in our regenerative medicine research in 2025. Read more: armi.org.au/news-media/a...

At Science Meets Parliament 2026, ARMI postdocs Liz Reisman and Benoit Haerlingen learnt how science can enter policy conversations. Their takeaway: evidence matters, but clarity, timing and relationships are just as important. Read the story on the ARMI website. armi.org.au/smp2026

A pub, a projector, and a single cell 0.1mm across projected to fill a screen. A/Prof Jenny Zenker at @pintofscienceau.bsky.social Melbourne showed what the earliest moments of life look like and why that’s relevant to regenerative medicine. Thanks everyone for staying curious!

ARMI's Peter Currie and Maggie Evans-Galea on Health Industry Hub podcast: Strategy 2030, bench-to-bedside realities, AI in research, and the science behind spinouts Mogrify and Myostellar. Subscription required; 14-day free trial available. Listen: bit.ly/4dy4qJn

ARMI's Jenny Zenker is @pintofscienceau Melbourne next Tuesday, talking about what the start of life actually looks like, and why it matters for medicine. Munich Brauhaus, 19 May, 7pm. Tix: bit.ly/4tUVdB7

Our deputy director strategy and planning, Maggie @mveg001.bsky.social, visited biotech company Cartherics this week to explore collaboration opportunities and discuss the challenges facing the regenerative medicine sector. It’s these conversations that are helping us advance our strategic plan.

PIEZO channels sense force. Yesterday Dr @charlesdcox.bsky.social @victorchang.edu.au showed us exactly what happens next, and it's more connected to cardiovascular disease than anyone expected. Excellent seminar!
