About the Society for Free Radical Research (Australasia)

The Australasian Branch of the Society for Free Radical Research, SFRR (Australasia), was formed in 1988 and has about 100 active members.

The main activity of SFRR (Australasia) is conducting scientific meetings. The first meeting was held in 1988 in Adelaide and subsequent meetings were held in Sydney (1989), Lorne (1991), Christchurch (1993), Wollongong (1995), Dunedin (1997), Melbourne (1998), Sydney (1999), Wellington (2000), Sydney (2001), Wollongong (2002), Kyoto (2003), Christchurch (2004) and Gold Coast (2005). The next meeting of the Society will be held December 1-4 2006 in Perth. The Society also provides grants-in-aid to support students to attend the biennial meeting of the International Society for Free Radical Research.

In 1999 the Society adopted Redox Report as its official journal. This entitles members to a reduced subscription rate. A number of other joint activities between the journal and the Society are planned. The journal has several active members of the Society on its Editorial Board, including John Eaton and Nick Hunt (Chief Editors), Mike Davies, Roger Dean, Tony Kettle, Roland Stocker, and Christine Winterbourn.

Membership of the Society also automatically brings membership of the International Society for Free Radical Research, an umbrella organisation that organises biennial scientific meetings; the 1994 meeting was held in Sydney and organised by the Sydney Free Radical Group. Two representatives of SFRR (Australasia) (presently Kevin Croft and Mike Davies) serve on the International Committee that controls SFRR (International).
