Australian and New Zealand Society for Neuropathology Inc.
The Australian and New Zealand Society for Neuropathology was founded by the late Dr Ross McDonald Anderson from the University of Melbourne. In 1979 during the Annual Meeting of the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia, at which the late Professor Lucien Rubinstein was a guest speaker, Dr Anderson organised a meeting of all people interested in Neuropathology. All those who were present were the founding members of the ANZSNP. The late Professor Roland Rodda of Hobart was of great assistance in coordinating the Society. The Society's main purpose is to promote the study of diseases of the nervous system and to facilitate the exchange of information and ideas and to advance the science and practice of Neuropathology in Australia and New Zealand in conjuction with the neuroscientists, clinicians and pathologists.
The 2012 ANZSNP annual scientific meeting will be held in Perth, Western Australia on 7 October in conjunction with the Neuromuscular training workshop and the annual World Muscle Society meeting. The guest speaker will be Prof Frank Mastaglia discussing the inflammatory myopathies. See "ANZSNP meetings" for further details.
