Physiology Events and Conferences

DOHaD ANZ, Melbourne 2019

The DOHaD ANZ 2019 Symposium 'Understanding Mechanisms Guiding Interventions: Developmental Physiology Approaches' held at the University of Melbourne on October 24th aims to attract DOHaD 2019 Congress participants and local researchers engaged in developmental physiology research. Our program allows DOHaD speakers, participants and local researchers to provide up to date insight into key and emerging areas of developmental physiology to guide intervention strategies.

Plenary presentations by Prof Melissa Little, Dr Amanda Sferruzzi-Perri and Dr Elena Zambrano will set the scene of our symposia, which also integrates invited presentations from local and international early- and mid-career researchers (Enzo Porrello, Clare Reynolds, Tina Bianco-Miotto, Anthony Hannan, James Cuffe, Jessica Griffith, Lisa Stinson, Beth Allison).

Importantly, there is an opportunity for Trainees (students or <10 years post PhD) to have an invited Bus Stop presentation of their research and to network with this targeted group of researchers (abstract submission required).
For more information visit DOHaD ANZ, 2019 - Late Breaking Abstract submissions close 29th July.
Molecular Imaging Summer Program (MISP)

An exciting opportunity exists for Australian undergraduate chemistry and biology students to visit Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) in New York City on a fully-funded 10-week research experience internship.

The 10-week program begins on June 3 and ends on August 9, 2019
Applications close 28^th February 2019
