The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) Australia Postgraduate Symposium (EAPS) will be held on Wednesday 28^th - Friday 30^th November 2018 at the Translational Research Institute (TRI) in Brisbane, Australia. This will be the fifth consecutive year of EAPS, a symposium organised by research students, for research students, across Australia.

Entitled “Translational Research: Linking Science and Daily Life”, EAPS 2018 will focus on the importance of translatability in basic scientific research and the tools and techniques available to turn basic science discoveries into practical solutions in health and the environment. The Symposium will explore a range of fields, from cellular to systems biology, bioinformatics to neurobiology, virology to ecology with a range of distinguished keynote and plenary speakers, as well as oral and poster presentations from students.

We welcome and encourage all Honours, Masters & PhD Students to attend EAPS 2018; the symposium is an excellent opportunity for students to learn from world leading researchers, as well as network with a range of other like-minded students and present their work in a friendly and professional environment.
