How precision medicine is changing the shape of health
Human disease is generally a consequence of complex interaction between our genes and the environment. Traditionally, medical research focuses on creating therapies to treat specific diseases.
This can be very effective and these therapies can have universal benefits across the whole population: look at immunisation against specific pathogens, […]

CAR-T immunotherapy involves genetically engineering T-cells with chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). FLOW cytometry uses antibodies tagged with fluorescent markers that bind to specific cell receptors. The labelled cells are then fed through a series of lasers and profiled using software such as FLOWLOGIC. FLOW cytometry works to […]
A student development evening was held again this year on 26 August 2019 at Monash University Clayton where Professor Graham Jenkin (Cartherics’ Education Officer) represented us. More on our PhD projects on our Education Opportunities page.
Drugs work stunningly well to control HIV—but not in everyone, and not without side effects. That’s why a small cadre of patients known as elite controllers has long fascinated researchers: Their immune system alone naturally suppresses HIV for decades without drugs. Now one team, inspired by success in mice, hopes to endow HIV-infected people […]
