News on Twitter

Now in our third year, we have social mixers, swarm regularly at Lorne Proteins, host international speakers and each run an AGM on a shoestring budget that are heaps of fun. AGM 2020 was at UWA Albany, AGM2021 was at ECU Bunbury. Late 2021 we hosted a seminar by UQ's Evelyne Deplazes at Curtin. Please e-mail us to join the contact list or DM @PerthProteins

Recent events

On 26-27 October we held AGM2022 at the Curtin Graduate School of Business in Perth city. Congratulations to our 2022 prize-winners and to our keynote speakers John Bruning and Alice Vrielink. All our news will be on our Twitter feed. It's even a great place to ask for equipment in WA, see example 1 and example 2 for two successful exemplar posts! Harness the power of social media!

Coming up

Registration is open for our 2023 AGM at UWA's Albany campus Fri 3 Nov to Sun 5 Nov. Register here and earlybird pricing ends 12 October. To submit an abstract, download our template and send it in to perthproteins@gmail.com also by 12 October. We love having students and EMCRs share their research and we look after our ASBMB members, so ensure your ASBMB membership is current!

Our mission is to enable interaction and collaboration between protein research groups in Perth, create awareness of research strengths and key research equipment within Perth, raise awareness and extend membership of the ASBMB, create a forum for students and ECRs to present their work in an informal atmosphere, help disseminate and technical and practical aspects of protein science, and bring scientists from interstate or overseas to present their findings.

We encourage all Perth protein scientists to join the ASBMB and remember to tick the box next to "Perth Protein Group" in the Special Interest Groups section as this forms the basis of their support for our events. If you're already a member, forgot to tick the box or were unable to, just e-mail perthproteins@gmail.com and we can update your ASBMB profile with PPG membership. Did you know first year HDR students get a year of membership free if their supervisor is an ASBMB member. Also students get additional benefits from joining ASBMB, to see them click here.
