What does science look like inside Parliament House?

ARMI postdocs Dr Elizabeth Reisman and Dr Benoit Haerlingen recently attended Science Meets Parliament 2026 in Canberra, where researchers from across Australia met policymakers, advisors and science leaders to discuss how scientific evidence can influence national decision-making.

One theme came through clearly in both of their experiences. Scientific evidence is important, but it’s communication that influences whether it is understood, remembered and applied. The program also gave them a rare look inside the realities of policymaking, from Question Time through to conversations with MPs and ministerial staff.

If you want to understand what regenerative medicine research looks like in Australia right now, have a listen to ARMI’s Peter Currie and Marguerite Evans-Galea on the Health Industry Hub podcast. They cover ARMI's Strategy 2030, the challenges that come with translating preclinical research into clinical trials, and what role AI might play in accelerating research.

Peter also talks through two significant discoveries from ARMI's labs: the science behind Mogrify, which models how to convert one adult cell type into another; and Myostellar, a spinout developing therapeutics for skeletal muscle regeneration in diseases such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

You will need a Health Industry Hub subscription to listen, a free 14-day trial is available if you have not already signed up. The link to the episode is in the comments.

ARMI's Associate Professor Jenny Zenker is presenting at Pint of Science AU Melbourne next Tuesday, 19 May. Her talk looks at how a single cell becomes a living organism and what that process reveals about reproductive and regenerative medicine. She's one of three researchers on the night. No science background is needed to follow along.
Munich Brauhaus, 45 South Wharf Promenade. Doors at 6:30pm, talks from 7pm. The link for tickets is in the comments.

ARMI's Strategy 2030 is now available to read and download. It covers where we are, where we are going, and the six pillars that will get us there – from scientific excellence and clinical translation through to education, global partnerships and long-term sustainability. If you want to understand what Australia's regenerative medicine effort looks like for the next five years, this is it. Link in the comments.

We’re excitedly preparing to launch ARMI’s Strategy 2030 this morning.
It sets the direction for regenerative medicine in Australia over the next five years, with clear goals and a defined plan to deliver them. Join us as we embark on this 5-year journey of dynamic growth and impact. More details later today!

This week, we welcomed Dr Christian Nefzger (University of Queensland) to ARMI as part of our External Seminar Series.

His talk explored a simple but surprising idea: ageing isn’t just wear and tear. It follows patterns built into our biology. The same systems that guide how cells develop early in life can later reshape how they function. By studying how these systems work, researchers are getting closer to understanding how cells might be reset or protected over time.

This image, titled ‘A Neural Storm’, shows axons (nerve fibres) from human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived motor neurons, blazing yellow-red against a web of dendrites (finger-like cells on the ends of neurons). These neurons model motor neuron disease, so researchers can study how the disease develops and what might stop it.
This image won Dr Melinda Wang Best Image in the All Optical Microscopy Modalities Category at this year's Monash Micro Imaging Image Competition. If this is what neurons look like under a microscope, imagine the storms happening inside our brains right now!

‘Muscle Migration Madness’ looks like an abstract painting, but every coloured trail is a real muscle stem cell, tracked over 24 hours as it moved, grew and differentiated.

This image was captured by Connor Leayr from the Roman Lab. It won Best Image in the Sci-Art Category in this year’s Monash Micro Imaging Image Competition.

Connor isolated the cells from mouse pups, imaged them live on a DMI8 microscope, then used computational tracking to map each cell's path and colour it randomly. The science is precise. The image is genuinely stunning.

Last week, the ARMI Social Club marked the lead-up to the break with an Easter get-together 🥚✨
The promise of chocolate eggs and hot cross buns gave us an excellent reason to catch up outside the lab. 🐰

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.
