Invitation to attend
On behalf of Joint Program Committee and society councils we welcome you to
the joint ASCEPT-AuPS-HBPRCA scientific meeting in Perth from 4th to 9th
December, 2011. We believe this meeting will be an excellent opportunity
to showcase the research of members of the three societies. Importantly,
this meeting offers the opportunity to network with colleagues and other
leading scientists from ASCEPT, AuPS and HBPRCA societies at both social
and scientific activities.
The program of plenary lectures, symposia and workshops, oral presentations
and posters will be academically and scientifically stimulating and lead to
new collaborations and research opportunities. Annual awards and prizes
will also be presented at this meeting. With researchers from ASCEPT, AuPS
and HBPRCA, this meeting provides an excellent opportunity to network
across these societies.
We extend a warm welcome to our international guests, Professor Roland
Jones from the British Pharmacological Society, Professor Haruaki Nakaya
from the Japanese Pharmacological Society, Professor Annamaria de Luca and
Professor Mark Hargreaves who are the AuPS plenary and AuPS invited
lecturer respectively, and Professor Peter Rothwell who is the HBPRCA's RD
Wright invited lecturer.
We offer a very special welcome to all our exhibitors and sponsors. The
Joint Program Committee and society councils welcome your feedback on every
aspect of the meeting.
Perth, with its clear skies, open spaces and amazing natural attractions is
an ideal conference location. Set on the banks of the spectacular Swan
River, Perth is a rapidly growing urban centre that offers cultural
diversity and sophistication combined with a relaxed lifestyle and friendly
vibe. Home to world-class wineries and renowned as a surfing destination,
Margaret River and the South West area of the state offer fine boutique
wineries, gourmet delights, majestic old growth forests, spectacular caves
and pristine coastline. With excellent infrastructure and stunning
scenery, the region is perfect for satellite workshops as well as pre and
post conference touring.
With kind regards
Carl Kirkpatrick, Chairperson, Joint Program Committee
Professor David Allen, AuPS President
Professor David Le Couteur, ASCEPT President
Professor Jaye Chin-Dusting, HBPRCA President
