Staff and students from the Centre for Free Radical Research traveled to Auckland last week to present at the Reactive Oxidants in Health and Disease – 26th Annual Meeting of the Society for Free Radical Research Australasia.
Postgraduate students Bee Bathish, Sarah Heath, Chris Kaldor and Jesse Fischer all received SFRRA Travel Awards. Jesse Fischer was also the recipient of a Conference Bursary Award, along with Master's student Reuben Springer.
