What is the Adelaide Protein Group?
Since 2007, the Adelaide Protein Group (APG) has hosted annual events for protein and molecular biology researchers. At present, our yearly events include the student and early-career researcher Annual Research Symposium, our popular protein-flavoured Quiz Night, and networking events with interstate researchers, local service providers and our sponsors. We aim to provide all protein and molecular biology researchers within South Australia the opportunity to learn new science, share ideas and present their research to a wide and engaged audience.
