This wasn’t Casey’s first foray into developmental research: before her PhD she was a research assistant at the Institute investigating embryonic blood development.
After working at the Institute for two years I knew that it was the best place to do my PhD,” Casey said.
“The excellent facilities and world-class laboratories were a big drawcard; but also the collaborative spirit and strong culture, and Institute’s international standing assured me that I would be at the best possible place to succeed in science.
“One of the greatest things about my PhD has been the people I have worked with. They are so generous and intelligent, and have become some of my closest friends.”
Casey Ah-Cann’s PhD studies are supported by a scholarship jointly funded by Lung Foundation Australia and the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute.
