AWTRS & MBSANZ 2024 Conference

Kaiwen and Chayla attended the 2024 AWTRS (Australasian Wound and Tissue Repair Society) and MBSANZ (Matrix Biology Society of Australia and New Zealand) Conference in Fremantle, Australia. This was a 4-day conference held from October 28th to October 31st and featured a broad spectrum of talks  from members of both AWTRS and MBSANZ, ranging from ECRs to senior academics.

Kaiwen Zhang presented his poster entitled ‘Temporal Analysis of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Under External Stimulation’ during the Poster Session on Wednesday 30th October. Chayla Reeves also presented her poster labelled ‘Quantitative Imaging AFM for the Biomechanical Characterisation of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Hydrogels’.

Both Kaiwen and Chayla would like to thank Dr Gelmi for the opportunity to attend and present their research with researchers in similar fields. It was an amazing experience to both learn from and network with other researchers – PhD students, ECRs and senior academics alike. The networking events and activities made available heightened the enjoyment of the trip. Thank you to both AWTRS and MBSANZ societies for hosting such a wonderful conference.
