The NZSBMB covers a broad area of interest, including evolutionary biology, enzymatic mechanisms, structural biology, and cell biology (among many others). As well, in this conference we are including education talks (see speakers) as part of a new focus of the NZSBMB. Part of these talks will be about improving engagement, and how to use technology (such as AI) to help accomplish this goal. See the Themes listed in the Abstract section.

Our confirmed speakers include Dr Katherine Donovan who is a Lead Scientist in the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Harvard Medical School, Dr Kim Newton who runs a research group at Genentech, Dame Prof Juliet Gerrard who is the Prime Minister’s Chief Science Advisor, and Dr Simon McCallum who is an educational innovator who will be discussing education and AI.
