FASEB SRC announces conference registration open for: Liver Biology: Fundamental Mechanisms & Translational Appl
January 30th, 2012
The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) announces the opening of registration for the Science Research Conference (SRC): Liver Biology: Fundamental Mechanisms & Translational Applications.
This conference will take place July 29-August 3, 2012 in Snowmass, Colorado. It is the premier international conference on basic and translational research in liver biology. The goal of the conference is to broaden the attendees' understanding of liver biology in order to advance treatment and diagnosis of liver diseases. Specific session topics will cover liver differentiation metabolism, angiogenesis, injury and hepatic fibrosis, cancer, stem cells and tissue engineering. The program will include presentations from invited speakers and will also include short talks be chosen from submitted abstracts with preference given to junior and early stage investigators. The program will also include two poster sessions and a newly added "meet-the-experts session geared towards providing younger investigators with additional opportunities to network with senior investigators in the field.
