Welcome to the Melbourne Protein Group (MPG) webpage!  The MPG is a special interest group of the Australian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and provides a forum for Victorian researchers interested in topics related to protein structure, function and biology.  Our goal is to provide Victorian researchers with opportunities to present data, network and gain mentorship through our organization of two annual meetings.  The first meeting, which has been the core of the MPG activities over the last decade, focuses specifically on providing graduate students an opportunity to present their work in a conference style setting.  The student symposium rotates between the University of Melbourne, Monash and La Trobe Universities each year and in 2010 will be held at La Trobe University.  The second meeting, new in 2010, is a postdoctoral symposium, which is planned for the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in conjunction with the Young Scientists Forum of OzBio.

We welcome any suggestions for improvements to our core activities or any other ideas that might make us work better.  Please follow the links on the page for registration details of our two meetings and for other information relating to our activities.
