Experimental Biology 2003 meets in San Diego April 11-15 Translating the Genome| What: | Experimental Biology 2003 will bring together more than 12,000 independent scientists, representing 17 different biological and biomedical societies from the United States and other nations. Now in its 13th year, Experimental Biology has become one of the world's largest and most significant interdisciplinary scientific meetings. Under the theme "Translating the Genome," this year's meeting offers thousands of individual presentations of new research, symposia on timely topics, lectures by internationally prominent distinguished scientists, and sessions on new technology and other topics of interest to practicing scientists and those who cover science. Reporters covering Experimental Biology 2003 have an opportunity to hear first-hand the research findings upon which scientific advances are made and to see interdisciplinary science and debate in action. | | When: | Friday, April 11 -- Tuesday, April 15. | | Where: | San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, California. | | Who: | Sponsoring scientific societies are the American Association of Anatomists, The American Physiological Society, American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, American Society for Investigative Pathology, American Society for Nutritional Sciences, and American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics. Another 11 participating societies are also represented. | | Why this meeting is important to science: | Whatever their field of study, scientists participating in Experimental Biology 2003 share an interest in the processes underlying human development, function, and aging, and the way diseases develop and can be treated or prevented. The interdisciplinary nature of the meeting provides scientists the opportunity to explore how their work -- whether in pathology, physiology, nutrition, biochemistry, pharmacology, anatomy or other fields -- relates to research in other disciplines. | | Media Contact: | For information and to register for the meeting, contact Sarah Goodwin, media relations for EB 2003, at 770-270-0989 or [email protected].
