AuPS PhD Grants:
It was a very competitive round for the AuPS PhD grants this year, with 14 applications. The applications were of high quality, and the competition was very fierce - It is so pleasing to see the research of the next generation of physiologists.

AuPS is pleased to announce the 2 grants were awarded to Mr Nirajan Shrestha (Griffith University) and Mr Javier Botella (Victoria University)

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.

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!
