Congratulations to the APSN LOC Chair Travel Awardees
Yi-Fen
"I am grateful to the Chair for the generous travel award, which allows me to attend the ASPN conference. This opportunity enables me to present my research on iMAGE, a unique combination of Rapid Golgi staining, expansion microscopy, and volumetric brain imaging. I hope to engage with fellow researchers, contribute to advancements in neuroscience, and gain insights from other presentations. Thank you for your support in easing the financial burden and facilitating my participation in this valuable event."
Yuan Shiyang
"I focus on an X-linked neurodevelopment disorder, CDKL5 deficiency disorder (CDD), and try to understand how impaired synaptic events and aberrant neural circuits lead to behavioral deficits and the mechanism behind this through multidisciplinary approaches. Attending the 17th Biennial Meeting of the APSN is a valuable opportunity for me to meet and exchange ideas with research peers and experts in the field. Thanks to APSN Chair for conferring APSN LOC Chair Travel Awards on me."
APSN Happening Now!
Dear Colleagues,
It is with great pleasure that we extend the warmest invitation to you to attend the 17th Biennial Meeting of the Asian-Pacific Society for Neurochemistry (APSN). This in-person event will take place on 19-21 June 2023.
First and foremost, we have a packed 3-day scientific program which features 3 plenary speakers, namely (in alphabetical order) Prof. Paul Matthews, Prof. Hideyuki Okano, and Prof. Su-Chun Zhang, who are all leaders in their own field of research. More information about the speakers is available under Plenary Speakers.
In addition, our program features 12 symposia on a variety of hot topics. There are also 3 workshop/young investigator colloquia (YIC), 3YIC, oral communications and poster presentations. We target to incorporate high quality science in our program and to cater to the broad interests of all the participants.
There will also be prizes and awards for young investigators and students.
