Lab

The lab provides opportunities for post-docs to pursue projects of relevance to type 1 and type 2 diabetes, fundamental cell physiology, stem cell research and treatments for type 1 diabetes.

We work in a collaborative environment and aim to publish high-quality papers in leading journals.

The lab is well funded through national and international funding bodies such as the NHMRC and JDRF.
