Researchers and postgraduate students from The Ritchie Centre (Hudson Institute of Medical Research and Monash University) have shone at two of Australia’s biggest fetal and neonatal conferences, which both took place in Queensland last week.

A large cohort from the Ritchie Centre attended the 30^th annual meeting of the Fetal and Neonatal Workshop of Australia and New Zealand (FNWANZ, a sub-committee of the PSANZ) on Magnetic Island.

A large number of Honours and PhD students and early career researchers (ECRs) gave presentations at this event, including Nadia Bellefiore, Emily Cohen and Stacey Ellery, who won the Early PhD student; Late PhD student and ECR presentation awards respectively.

The FNWANZ event doubled as a a festschrift for Richard Harding from Monash University’s Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology, who was one of the founders of the workshop.
This meeting was immediately followed by another milestone event – the Perinatal Society of Australia and New Zealand (PSANZ)’s 20^th Annual Scientific Meeting in Townsville.
