The GSA has partnered with the Genetics Society of Japan (GSJ), the Genetics Society of China (GSC) and the International Genetics Federation (IGF) to host international seminars for the Asia-Pacific Region.
Seminars are one-hour virtual talks held on Zoom, four times per year, showcasing high quality research from diverse areas of genetics and aim to foster interactions between research groups and societies. The seminars are free, but registration is required.
Upcoming seminars
Prof. Jun Kitano: “Ecological genetics of adaptation and speciation in sticklebacks”
Tuesday, September 28th, 2023 (Zoom)
8:30am IST (New Delhi) / 11am CST (Beijing) / 12pm JST (Tokyo) / 1pm AEST (Sydney) / 4pm NZST (Auckland)
Prof. Kitano’s group focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the evolution of biodiversity, especially those operating in naturally occurring populations that result in speciation.
This talk will be moderated by Dr. Sally Potter from Macquarie University.
