2011 ASBMB Fred Collins Award - Natalie Beveridge
School of Biomedical Sciences and Pharmacy
University of Newcastle
Natalie Beveridge completed a Bachelor of Biotechnology with first class Honours at the University of Newcastle in 2006. Her research project investigated posttranscriptional gene silencing in schizophrenia under the supervision of Dr Murray Cairns and Dr Paul Tooney (Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory, School of Biomedical Sciences and Pharmacy). Natalie was awarded an Australian Postgraduate Award scholarship as well as an additional stipend from the Schizophrenia Research Institute to pursue her PhD studies. Natalie’s PhD investigated how microRNA were influencing gene expression patterns throughout neuronal differentiation, normal human development and schizophrenia. Thus far, her work has resulted in three first-author manuscripts, including journals such as Molecular Psychiatry (IF>15) and Human Molecular Genetics (IF>7). In only two years, her publication in Human Molecular Genetics has received over 50 external citations, and in light of her Molecular Psychiatry publication, Natalie was awarded the University of Newcastle Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Research Excellence. Natalie’s PhD findings provided the basis of a successful NHMRC Project Grant and have been presented in oral symposia both nationally and internationally. In 2010, Natalie spent four months as a visiting scientist at the Clinical Brain Disorders Branch of the National Institutes of Health, USA, where she shared some of her expertise in investigating microRNA expression in the postmortem brain. To date, Natalie has published five manuscripts and is currently employed as a postdoc in the Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory. This ASBMB Fellowship has supported Natalie in hosting a panel session at the 2011 Winter Conference on Brain Research in Colorado, USA.
