Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute Honours Projects 2014 The Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute is located at the Clayton Campus of Monash University. ARMI aims to be one of the world’s largest regenerative medicine and stem cell research centres and its research aims to understand the mechanisms underlying regenerative processes. This fundamental knowledge is essential if we want to advance treatments for degenerative diseases such as muscular ystrophies, dementia, cardiac diseases and ageing. The state of the art laboratories at ARMI draw together some of the world’s best scientists in exciting new innovative research programs. $6,000 Scholarship Available The ARMI Honours Scholarship to the value of $6,000 will be awarded to the top student who has obtained a minimum of a high distinction average (80% or above) in their previous tertiary studies Enquiries to Supervisors armi.org.au/ Honours Coordinator: Assoc Prof James Bourne ARMI, Level 1, Building 75 Ph: 9902 9622 [email protected] Heart and Muscle development and regeneration Enhancing heart regeneration in mammals.
