The Australian Association for Chinese Biomedical Scientists (AACBS) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting Chinese-Australian scientists working in the biomedical field in Australia.  We currently have around 60-70 members from a variety of medical research fields in NSW. A majority of our members are well-established scientists at leading research institutions, universities and hospitals, often fully qualified doctors from China who also hold Australian doctorates.  

Our vision is to establish a network of support for Chinese scientists in Australia, as well as promote cross-cultural links between China and Australia. We are committed to helping out young research students and early-career scientists in the field of biomedical research, mentoring them to develop their own career path. We aim to promote biomedical research findings to the broader public, particularly communicating health and science matters that specifically relate to Chinese-Australian community. We also look for translating our research findings from bench to bedside to improve the quality of life of patients in Australia as well as in the world. 

The AACBS is a relatively new organisation that was established in 2008. We hold regular seminars to discuss current research developments and promote health awareness, as well as social gatherings where members can connect with each other. In the annual meetings each year we have a variety of talks and presentations, as well as a number of prominent guests from the Chinese-Australian community. We welcome all scientists and students in the field of biomedical research to come join us. For more information and for membership enquiries, please contact our President Dr Belamy Cheung (bcheung@ccia.unsw.edu.au), Honorary President Prof. Yong Li (y.li@unsw.edu.au) and Vice-President Dr Yanfei (Jacob) Qi (j.qi@centenary.org.au).

澳洲华人生物医学科学家协会（AACBS）是华人医学科学家自愿组成的依法登记成立的学术性、公益性、非营利性社团；是联系澳州华人生物医学科学家的纽带和联系国际及中国生物医学科学家的桥梁；是发展中澳生物医学科学技术事业的重要力量。

澳洲华人生物医学科学家协会建于2008年, 是以澳大利亚悉尼为基地的、独立的专业性学术团体。设有专家委员会、科研协作中心、人才交流基地、专家论坛及学术俱乐部。学会的中坚力量来自于二十多个以华人学者为领导的生物医学单位和研究小组, 这些小组主要分布于悉民大学,新南威尔士大学, 纽卡斯尔大学,卧龙岗大学,悉尼科技大学，麦觉利大学和西悉尼大学。目前学会有近二百六十名成员。

协会的宗旨是团结、组织广大华人生物医学科学家，提高华人生物医学科学家的业务水平和社会地位；促进生物医学的科研协作和成果推广；帮助年轻华人生物医学科学家的职业进步。

本会工作包括开展学术交流，宣传医学科普知识、加强自身素质的提高；促进国际间学术交流以及中澳生物医学合作；开展生物医学科学技术论证、评选和奖励优秀的生物医学科技成果、学术论文和科普作品;开展生物和医学科学技术的咨询服务；推动生物医学科研成果的转化和应用;并向政府反映华裔医学科学家的意见和要求。

协会同时也是个互相帮助,促进友谊的团体,通过多方面的话动丰富科研兴趣和增加生活情趣，搭建一个与澳洲华人同行学习和交流的平台。协会倡导的精神是真诚、互助、进取和奉献。

协会现由新南威尔士大学张素冰首席科学家担任会长, 学会致力与各界人士和各领域科学研究学者加强联系,开展多种活动, 欢迎更多的生物医学科学专业研究人员了解和参加AACBS。如想了解更多的学会信息, 请联系张素冰会长（bcheung@ccia.unsw.edu.au), 李勇(y.li@unsw.edu.au) 荣誉会长 或 齐延飞常务副会长（j.qi@centenary.org.au 或 微信号 jacob0387）。
