AAS Trust Travel Grants Thanks to Prof. Paul Nestel and a very
successful International Atherosclerosis Society Meeting that he organized in
Melbourne in October 1985, a trust fund exists to provide financial
assistance for students to travel overseas.
Normally, two to three students can be supported each year. Students need to be presenting their
research at an international meeting and have evidence of an accepted
abstract, or alternatively they need to be travelling to a recognized
laboratory for training purposes. Letters of request should be addressed to
the trustees of the AAS Trust and be sent to Meetings First. Jeffrey Cohn |

ISCD – ‘Fostering Frontiers’ CALL FOR
ABSTRACTS We would like to take this opportunity on
behalf of the organizing committee to both inform, and welcome you to be a
part of the International Symposium on Chylomicrons in Disease (ISCD) being
held in Lake Louise Chateau, Alberta, Canada, March 6-8, 2008. As an expert in this area, you will be aware
of the physiological importance of chylomicrons and increasing evidence for a
role in metabolic disorders, when their metabolism is impaired. In a
scientific context, interest is trans-disciplinary and includes broad areas
of physiology, biochemistry, lipoprotein metabolism, nutrition,
endocrinology, gastrointestinal function, pharmaceutics, cardiovascular
disease, obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes. Our intention is to capture momentum and host
a forum that will facilitate exposure, networking and training in this area.
The format of the ISCD will be one of collegiality, open discussion and
recognized educational/ professional training; hence we have labelled our
theme for 2008 ‘Fostering Frontiers’.
The International Symposium on Chylomicrons in
Disease (ISCD) is now open for Registration and Abstract Submission. We are
encouraging participants to plan to enjoy the splendour of the Canadian
Rockies prior the symposium, or following the symposium (or both!). With this
in mind, please make your travel arrangements early, as accommodation at the
Lake Louise Château will be limited and in demand due to the high ski
season. All abstracts submitted by December 21st, 2007
will be considered for publication in a special supplement issue of the
journal Atherosclerosis in recognition of the ISCD 2008. As a potential participant, we hope that you
will consider joining us and contributing to ISCD in 2008. To register and
submit an abstract please see: www.iscd2008.com We hope this finds you well in preparing for
the year ahead and we look forward to your attendance in 2008. Respectively Yours, Spencer Proctor, Kathleen M. Botham, Manuel
Castro Cabezas, John Mamo |
