ASMR Medical Research Week® Student Presentations

May 31

ASMR Medical Research Week® is organised each year by the Australian Society for Medical Research (ASMR) to foster excellence in health and medical research and promote community understanding and support for medical research. In alignment with these goals, the Tasmanian Postgraduate Student Research Awards aims to recognise outstanding contributions to medical research by Postgraduate students, and provide an opportunity for them to share their research with the medical research community. The award recognises scientific excellence and achievement, as well as the ability of the candidate to communicate his/her research at a level understandable to the wider scientific community, and the potential value of the research to health and medicine. ​

 For further information about the awards and how to apply, please contact Dr Phillippa Taberlay  or Dr Brad Sutherland
