Welcome
ANZMAG is a society formed to promote the science of magnetic resonance in the region of Australia and New Zealand. Its principal activities are to organize a national conference, nine of which have been held at various venues since 1973, and to support lecture tours by distinguished overseas visitors.
The Society was formed following the 8th National NMR Conference in 1992, and provided a vehicle for the successful bid to hold the 12th International Society of Magnetic Resonance Conference (ISMAR 95) in Sydney in July, 1995. This highly successful joint meeting was held during the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the discovery of nuclear magnetic resonance.

ICMRBS (The International Conference for Magnetic Resonance in Biological Systems) will be held in Australia in 2010! The Australian contingent of Ray Norton, Joel Mackay and Gottfried Otting were successful in convincing the ICMRBS Council that Australia wasn't *too* far away! [Find out more].
ANZMAG Medals - The ANZMAG medals were awarded this week to Prof. Philip Kuchel and Dr Ann Kwan, both from the School of MMB at the University of Sydney. These medals recognized the contributions of experienced and young researchers, respectively, to magnetic resonance in Australian and NZ. Details of the conditions and application process for the medals can be found here.
New NMR Book from down under! - Steve Pascal from Massey University has recently published an NMR textbook aimed at students and others new to the field. The book is called NMR Primer: An HSQC-based Approach. It is available online and features a number of vector-based animations to guide readers through complex pulse sequences.
