Phenomenal Science is a podcast that follows the journey of researchers and technical experts who are a part of our networks and use our expertise to conduct groundbreaking research into precision medicine.
Hosted by Phenomics Australia Communications Assistant, Ms Bridget Elliott-Rudder, the podcast explores the ways in which we support researchers to discover the genetic drivers of human disease and enable high-impact healthcare outcomes in precision medicine.
Our newest episode features Dr Martin Pal, an expert in genome editing and CRISPR technology. His focus on using CRISPR genome editing to study disease led him to work at the Melbourne Genome Editing Centre at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (now at the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Centre), one of the four CRISPR nodes within Phenomics Australia. Dr Pal’s research centres around applying CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology for disease modelling and the discovery of novel therapeutic targets, such as for cancer-driving genes
“What we do is like a little piece of the puzzle…we publish in research journals and other scientists around the world can see what we do. And everyone is working together in the science world to solve the bigger questions. But as an individual, it’s sometimes like a little piece of a puzzle that contribute. And I always enjoyed that. ”
In this episode, we will explore how his journey in research and his passion for teaching has evolved and changed to him now following his passion as a science educator and lecturer with the Charles Sturt University. Through these interviews, we showcase and communicate the impact of Phenomics Australia’s support on research outcomes and celebrate our researchers.
