A special interest group of the Australian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB). E-mail perthproteins@gmail.com to join the mailing list and be kept informed of relevant events. Also, be sure to follow us on Twitter at @PerthProteins.
Our launch on Friday 26 July was attended by 55 protein scientists from UWA, Curtin, Murdoch, ECU and Notre Dame. All our news is on Twitter, but click to see the launch slides, the 65 lightning slides (Note: 42 MB) or photos of the day. Please e-mail us to join the contact list or DM @PerthProteins. The best place for news will always be our Twitter feed. It's even a great place to ask for equipment in WA, see example 1 and example 2 for two recent successful posts! Harness the power of social media!
In 2020 we had social mixers on Fri 14 Aug and Fri 26 Jun at CU. In Feb 2020, WA scientists were at Lorne Proteins, see closing party, award winners and posters. After ASBMB2019, Sir Tom Blundell of the Cambridge U. came, see Tweet of the afternoon and sundowner. Finally, in Sep 2020 our AGM at the UWA Albany Centre and done on a shoestring budget was a cracker! We had talks by a couple of local luminaries. For Tweets, check out #PPG2020 and our group shot.
As Tweeted, our 2021 AGM is locked and loaded. We'll be off to Edith Cowan University's South-West campus in Bunbury on Friday 10 to Sunday 12 September with the same EMCR and student focus as 2020. REGISTER HERE! The program lead is ECU's Dr Pauline Zaenker with support from the PPG team. Send your abstract in by 13 August using this template to perthproteins@gmail.com. We will strongly favour talks by ASBMB members so be sure you are up to date with ASBMB membership!
We're always looking for members of the Perth protein community to get involved, especially when it comes to taking charge of PPG events, e-mail perthproteins@gmail.com to express your interest.
