Dr Carl Mousley.

The Australia and New Zealand Society for Cell and Developmental Biology (ANZSCDB) has a newly elected Western Australian representative and it’s no other than the Curtin Health Innovation Research Institute’s own Dr Carl Mousley.

Carl will be assisting with ANZSCDB in its efforts to promote and enhance research and education in cell and developmental biology in Australia and New Zealand.

One of ANZSCDB’s aims is to encourage international collaborations through the likes of providing forums for discussion and dissemination of information about the latest research trends and ideas; advocacy with government bodies; the presentation of awards; travel scholarships; and advertising opportunities for career advancement.

As a Senior Research Fellow at CHIRI, Carl uses cell and developmental biology to examine how the structure and function of cells influence diseases and disorders common in older-age.

As the ANZSCDB’s WA representative, Carl will be a conduit for local researchers’ ideas and suggestions for enhancing cell and developmental biology and growing the society.

The ANZSCDB also represents its members on the Australian Academy of Science’s National Committee for Cell and Developmental Biology, and is a member of the International Federation for Cell Biology (IFCB); and the International Society of Developmental Biologists (ISDB).
