Physiology Events and Conferences

• ANZOS & Breakthrough Discoveries 2018
  Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre, 16-18 October 2018.
  
  This October, the basic science meeting Breakthrough Discoveries in Metabolism, Diabetes & Obesity will be held, the second in the Metabolic Diseases series. The conference topics span a broad range of scientific disciplines, including but not limited to biochemistry, physiology, immunology, cell biology, cell signalling and systems biology. Seven highly acclaimed international speakers headline the conference alongside some of the best national researchers in the field.
  
  In addition, Breakthrough Discoveries have partnered with the Australian and New Zealand Obesity Society (ANZOS), holding a joint meeting to promote the collaborative benefit for basic science researchers to met and mingle with clinicians and clinician researchers.
  
  Abstract submissions and Registration are now open
• The International Research Group on Biochemistry of Exercise is pleased to announce that the next International Biochemistry of Exercise Conference (IBEC 2018) will be held in Beijing from 23 to 25 October 2018. The event will be organized by Ye Tian and his colleagues and more information will be available shortly. Please email tianye@ciss.cn to register your interest and receive further updates.
• National Collaborative Writing Group for teaching specialists/teaching-focussed academics in the Higher Education science/biomedical science realm
  
  
• Australian Physiology Competition (APC) - for Australian & New Zealand Medical Schools
  
  This National Physiology Quiz has been developed by some of our UNSW Medical Students following their experiences at the International Medical Schools Physiology Quiz in Kuala Lumpur earlier in the year. The Physiology Department at UNSW has been selecting our top Physiology students to compete in this event over the past 10 years and it is a fantastic way to engage our students to review and further their study of Physiology and to also meet up and form networks with undergrad Physiology students from around the world. This year about 100 University teams from around the world, and particularly from South-East Asia, participated in this 2-day event in KL. A number of countries have recently established National quizzes as a prelude to this International event, and our aim is to also establish an Australian/Australasian Quiz event. For further information and to register, students can email australianphysiologycomp@gmail.com or or check out the Facebook page. Staff are also welcome to attend (but can't compete :-) !)

Resources and Links

• Australian Functional Genomics initiative
  We are creating a network to connect researchers who can investigate functional genomics of newly discovered genes and variants. If you are a researcher who can investigate the mechanisms of gene variants using in vitro, in vivo or in silico methods, we want you to register your interest in Australian Functional Genomics!
  
• Scientists in Schools Program:
  Scientists in Schools is a national program that seeks to bring volunteer scientists, including applied scientists, engineers and mathematicians,together with teachers into an ongoing professional partnership, with the aim of increasing awareness of contemporary scientific endeavour and knowledgewithin our school communities.
