The  Asian Society for Pigment Cell Research (ASPCR) will  be  hosting  the 6th ASPCR Conference (after  the  5th ASPCR  in India  in November 2012), from 17th-19th May 2013, in Sydney , Australia.  It  is the  first  time  an ASPCR  conference  is  held  in Australia. We  are  joining hands  with  the Australasian Society for Dermatology Research (ASDR) to organize this  conference, as a  joint ASPCR-ASDR Meeting.  The Australasian College  of Dermatology Annual Meeting will  be held  just after  the ASPCR-ASDR Conference, so  some  of  you (Dermatologists)  may  wish  to  attend  that  meeting as well.

Make  this  an occasion  to  see  the  best  of Asian/Australasian Pigment Cell, Melanoma  and Dermatology Research  and   also  see  the  beautiful  city of  Sydney and  beyond. Many world renowned scientists  and clinicians  have already confirmed their participation.

Please  visit  the website  http://aspcr-asdr2013.org for  more  details. Will update  the  details  of  the  programme  in due  course.

Welcome  to  Australia!
