NRP Science Meeting Seminars - All Welcome
What and Why?
The purpose of NRP Science Meetings is to communicate about current NRP initiatives, help disseminate research findings throughout the neurotrauma community, share news and ideas and foster collaboration. An NRP investigator, or sometimes a visiting speaker, presents a seminar at each meeting.
Who can attend?
Everyone! NRP investigators, staff, students, interested clinicians and all members of the community, are welcome to attend and contribute to the discussions following each seminar.
When?
Approximately once per month, for one hour, either at "lunch time" or late afternoon.
Where?
At WAIMR or the University of Western Australia.
Interested?
Just call or email Louise (lgoodes@waimr.uwa.edu.au ; 041 891 1878) to have your name added to our email list for notices of future meetings.

Dr Giles Plant, NH&MRC R.D. Wright Fellow, Senior Lecturer and Director of the Red's Spinal Cord Research Centre, is a very well-renowned and highly respected scientist in the international field of repair and regeneration of the injured spinal cord. We have been extremely fortunate to benefit from his involvement in the NRP since the Program's inception in 1999. Dr Plant has been a contributing member of the American Paralysis Association research consortium into spinal cord repair and for some years has been involved with national and international efforts to optimise global cooperation and standardisation of protocols to ensure the safe and effective conduct of clinical trials in the field of spinal cord injury (eg. the International Campaign for Curing Paralysis, and as a steering committee member for ANZSCIN, the Australian New Zealand Spinal Cord Injury Network).
Dr Plant's seminar has unfortunately been postponed until 2010 - sorry for any inconvenience.
