The first annual meeting of the Molecular Medicine Society will be held on May 3, 1996 in Washington, DC, USA. The MMS will participate in "Biomedicine '96" with the three major clinical research societies of the United States - the American Federation for Clinical Research, the American Society for Clinical Investigation, and the Association of American Physicians. In addition, Science magazine will be co-hosting all four meetings.
