Prof. Joel Mackay

PI (NHMRC Senior Research Fellow). Hairy.


Prof. Jacqui Matthews

PI (NHMRC Senior Research Fellow). Has more fun run medals than you can shake a stick at.


Dr Nick Shepherd

PI (ARC DECRA Fellow) - has come by way of the IMB and Tokyo U. A real, live chemist! Knows things like which end of a rotovap you put the sample in...


Dr Ann Kwan

NMR Facility Manager, with her own unique style. Has successfully wrestled the new 800 into shape.


Angela Nikolic

Our lab manager (the person who *really* runs the lab). Watch out if you aren't wearing your lab coat!


Dr Lorna Wilkinson-White

Postdoc with Jacqui - cat fancier...


Dr Philippa Stokes

Über-postdoc with Jacqui. No longer sponsored by Donut King...


Dr Marylène Vandevenne

Postdoc with Joel - our first Belgian! The latest half-marathoner in the lab (next - Six Foot Track...).


Dr Ana Silva

Postdoc with Joel. From Portugal via the UK (escaping the York winters - and summers). Our very own crystallographer!


Dr Eija Lehtomäki

Postdoc with Joel (and Sandro). The Finn with the killer spike on the volleyball court! Now handed in and back from a rest in Tahiti...to take up the zinc finger gauntlet again.


Dr Katerina Bendak

Graduated to postdoc! ...after a PhD student with Joel. Has taken to matchmaking (rodents, mostly). Getting very good with computers though...


Dr Jason Low

New postdoc in the Mackay lab - fresh from a PhD at UNSW with Prof. Marc Wilkins - continuing on a theme of gene regulatory proteins (with less yeast).


Ivan Nisevic

PhD student with Jacqui. From Serbia - Joel's Croatian heritage could make lab soccer interesting.


Saad Alqarni

PhD student with Joel. From even warmer climes than Australia - but recently enjoyed a sojourn in the Cambridge winter.


Paul Setiyaputra

PhD student with Joel. Definitely the tidiest desk in the lab...and a mean bass guitar.


Soumya Joseph

PhD student with Jacqui. Chief mischief-maker and Bjork impersonator.


Amanda Blythe

PhD student from Alice Vrielink's lab way over in Perth. Has left her husband - temporarily at least - to get some SELEX and protein characterization work done over here.


Sarah Webb

PhD student with Joel. Spent half of her Hons year held together with sports tape...


Krystal Lester

PhD student with Jacqui. Liked Hons so much, she decided to stay.


Dorothy Wai

PhD student with Joel. We're thinking of having a competition to design her caption.


Michael Webster

BSc Hons student with Joel. Wins 'longest commute' award by quite some distance...!


Herman Fung

BSc Hons student with Jacqui. A year of being looked after by Flyp didn't put him off!


Neil Robertson

BSc Hons student and soon-to-be PhD student with Jacqui. A glutton for punishment (and LIM domains).


Hinnerk Saathoff

Hockey playing Master's student from Germany who has come to check out the NuRD complex.


James Wong

Undergrad technical assistant for 2012. Following the path started by Paul many years ago...


Clare Cullen

BSc Hons student with Jacqui. Showing off our new line in off-the-shoulder labcoats.


Tanya Estephan

BSc Hons student with Jacqui. Will be subjected to Flyp's rigorous Hons student training program (although I think she's eased back on the waterboarding these days).


Steph Helder

BSc Hons student with Joel. Under Marylène's designer RBP wing.


Reece Adler

BSc Hons student with Joel. Navigating with Katschi the labyrinth of deep sequencing data output (and providing us with cost-price plumbing supplies).


Andy Law

BSc Hons student with Nick over in fume hood world.


Jesse Wark

BSc Hons student with Nick. Survived being a summer student with Dorothy - that's something to put on your CV.


Ngaio Smith

Undergrad summer student in Joel's lab - under Ana's tutelage.


Craig Coorey

Undergrad TSP student in Joel's lab - also entrusted to Ana's care.


Queenie Cat

Technical assistant [small animal handling].

In charge of sitting down (someone has to do it when Joel is away)...


A. Zebra

New lab mascot. With wheels, believe it or not...
