The Australasian Proteomics Society (APS) aims to promote and facilitate proteomics research and related topics in Australia and New Zealand. Members of the APS are drawn from academic, industry and government laboratories. The APS acts a liaison body for communication with state and federal government as well as a central point for the coordination of proteome-related programmes and resources.
Since 1996 the APS has held an annual scientific symposium each February in Lorne, Victoria as our flagship meeting. This draws together over 250 delegates from the Australasian region as well as international invited keynote speakers. We run pre-conference workshops on topical subjects, often delivered by international experts. The annual meeting is well-known for its high quality science delivered in a relaxed atmosphere and a strong social program. Scientific vendors play an important role at this meetin
The APS together with other learned societies co-organises local, national and international meetings within the region, as well as workshops and other forums for the exchange of proteomics advances and techniques. Examples include APS’s hosting of the 2019 HuPO world congress in Adelaide and participation in regional HUPO meetings. APS highly values the involvement of student members (SoAPS - Students of Australasian Proteomics Society) and offers financial support through low-cost registration, travelling
