Congratulations to Rebecca Lim on being awarded a prestigious 2013 Melbourne-Boston Sister Cities Hugh Rogers 2013 Fellowship.
Bec will use the funding to visit Carla Kim's lab at Harvard, Boston. There, she will further explore her research looking into how amnion (placental) stem cells mediate lung repair, unravelling how amnion cells wake up the lungs own progenitor (stem) cells.
This exciting new collaboration between The Ritchie Centre at Monash and the Children's Hospital Boston is made possible through this generous Fellowship.
Stay tuned for Bec's insights into the "placenta and the lung".
