The Asian Pacific Society for Neurochemistry was formed at
the Sydney meeting of the International Society for Neurochemistry in 1991 in
order to promote neurochemistry in the Asian Pacific region.
The purpose of APSN shall be to promote research in neurochemistry
in particular by dissemination of information, by arrangement of meetings and
in other ways to encourage contact between its members. The society also
intends to work closely with other bodies having similar objectives, especially
with the International Society for Neurochemistry, the American Society for
Neurochemistry and the European Society for Neurochemistry. Membership of the
APSN is open to individual scientists, scientific societies with a significant
interest in neurochemistry and to corporations based in the Asian Pacific
region. APSN aims to promote research in neurochemistry in particular by
dissemination of information, by arrangement of meetings and to encourage
contact between its members. Individuals, societies and corporations interested
in joining APSN are encouraged to contact us directly. NEW! When you sign up as
an APSN member, you will also automatically enjoy FREE ISN membership. The
Asian Pacific region holds special challenges given the extreme breadth of
cultural, economic and scientific diversity in the region. Countries already
involved with the APSN include Australia, China – Beijing, China – Taipei, Hong
Kong, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, and
Thailand. APSN hopes to include other countries in the Asian Pacific region,
such as Fiji, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan and Papua New Guinea, in the future.
The emphasis on different aspects of neurochemistry, including biochemical,
clinical, chemical, molecular biological and pharmaceutical aspects, in the
different countries promises to be one of the strengths of APSN.
