Hormone und Genom
Tagung über Schilddrüsen- und Sexualhormone
Als erste einer Reihe von High Level Scientific Conferences zum Themenkomplex "Hormones and the Genome: Basic research towards improvement of diagnostic and therapeutic medicine" findet vom
25. bis 28. Mai 2002 im Fabri-Institut, Blaubeuren,
eine Konferenz zum Thema "Hormones and Genome: Thyroid and Gonadal Hormones in Health and Disease" (Hormone und Genom: Schilddrüsen- und Sexualhormone in Gesundheit und Krankheit; siehe beigefügtes Programm) statt. Organisator und Leiter der Tagung, die von der Europäischen Kommission im Rahmen des Human Potential Programme ("Ausbau des Potentials an Humanressourcen und Verbesserung der sozioökonomischen Wissensbasis") gefördert wird, ist Prof. Dr. Ulrich Loos, Oberarzt in der Abteilung Innere Medizin I der Universität Ulm.
Ein wesentliches Ziel der Scientific Conferences besteht darin, junge Wissenschaftler aus ganz Europa an die Spitzenforschung heranzuführen. Das soll unter anderem dadurch bewirkt werden, daß hochkarätige Referenten neueste Forschungsergebnisse vorstellen. Dem Tagungspräsidenten Prof. Loos ist es gelungen, international renommierte Wissenschaftler hierfür zu gewinnen, so Jan-Ake Gustafsson, Präsident des Nobelpreis-Komitees; Bill Chin, Harvard-Universität, Forschungsleiter bei Elly Lilly; John Baxter, University of California, San Francisco, u.a. Neben diesem Kontakt mit Spitzenforschern eröffnen die Kongresse den jungen Wissenschaftlern zugleich die Möglichkeit, ihre eigenen Ergebnisse vorzustellen und mit einem kritischen Auditorium zu diskutieren.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
