Group Leader Felicity completed her PhD at The University of Queensland (Australia) in 2012. After performing postdoctoral research in the fields of calcium signalling in Jim Putney’s lab (NIH-NIEHS, USA) and stem cell biology in Christine Watson’s lab (University of Cambridge, UK), Felicity returned to Australia in 2017 to start her own research group in 2018 as an NHMRC Fellow. Felicity now leads a group at the EMBL-Australia Node in Single Molecule Science and a team at Aarhus University in Denmark, funded by a Novo Nordisk Foundation Young Investigator Award. Her two groups use advanced imaging and novel mouse models to explore roles for intracellular calcium signalling in mammary gland development, function and disease.

Marcus completed his master's degree at the Department of Molecular Medicine, SDU, in 2022. As a part of his master's project, he studied the role of specific neutrophil subpopulations in development of triple-negative breast cancer using a syngeneic mouse model. Interestingly, he and his colleagues at SDU discovered a neutrophil subpopulation with protumor activity that could be targeted pharmacologically with an FGFR inhibitor. After completing his studies at SDU, he joined the AU spinout company, Unikum Therapeutics, where he contributed development of a cellular immunotherapy against solid tumors and autoimmune diseases. In April 2024, he joined the Department of Functional Genomics and Metabolism, at SDU, where he supported a joint innovation project with Prof. Dr. Jan-Wilhelm Kornfeld, Prof. Dr. Hildegard Büning and collaborators at Novo Nordisk in Måløv, focusing on specific targeting of adipose tissue in mice with genetically engineered adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee88cee7da68d1ccafb3080/ba21ca24-26e0-4d11-98ff-1bf5cc1b78d0/Laura%27s+picture+for+website.jpg People - Laura Bruus Bjerre. PhD Student @ AU. Laura completed her master’s degree in Murine Development at the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, AU in 2019. Here, she investigated transgene mouse embryos before the obvious onset of a lethal phenotype. After completing her master’s thesis, she was briefly affiliated with research in extracellular vesicles as a therapeutic tool for stroke. In April 2022, she joined the Davis Lab in Aarhus as a Research Assistant before transitioning to PhD student. Here she is exploring roles for calcium signalling in luminal mammary epithelial cells.

The davis lab is based both at the EMBL Australia Node in Single Molecule Science, University of New South Wales (Sydney) and the Department of Biomedicine at Aarhus University in Denmark. We are always looking for new Masters and PhD Students @AU. Creativity, kindness and enthusiasm prevail! We believe that the best (and most enjoyable) science requires diversity of thought from diverse minds. We are a relatively new lab with a young PI. This can have its pros and cons (but we think mainly pros!). We are not afraid to think big. We are ridiculously creative. We are early adopters of new technology. We work hard but have fun. We push ourselves out of our box and collaborate with quantitative biologists, physicists and clinicians. And we regularly meet and discuss our data and ideas.

Despite its importance, much remains unknown about the biology of lactation. Progress in this field relies heavily upon focused, hypothesis-driven studies that are the product of established and highly-skilled mammary research groups located around the world. It also relies, however, on the rapid and effective communication of serendipitous discoveries from scientists of diverse disciplines. The latter is often encumbered—not by an aversion to sharing these novel findings—but by an inability to properly describe them. Whilst techniques to characterize lactation defects in rodent models are not overly complex, they often remain a form of tacit knowledge, possessed only by a few specialist groups. It is with this in mind that we have prepared this manuscript. This technical review is intended to serve as a starting point—particularly for early-career scientists belonging to other fields of the biological sciences—for the investigation of potential lactation defects in transgenic mouse models. We hope that these protocols will assist, both with the characterization of the supposed defect as well as the elucidation of its developmental or functional origin. On completion, a biological resource will be obtained (replete with milk samples, wholemounts, histology, tissue blocks, RNA lysates and protein lysates) to facilitate further mechanistic investigations. In sum, if a lactation phenotype is suspected, this protocol will help the astute researcher to “milk it” for all that it’s worth! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee88cee7da68d1ccafb3080/1592618583352-OWE833DZONEP13QSCJB1/ways%2Bto%2Bbe%2Bsmart%2B2.jpg Resources - Our science-related bookshelf.
