| International Society for Experimental Hematology 31st Annual Meeting, Montreal, Canada | ||||||||||||||||
| December 17, 2001 | ||||||||||||||||
|
McGill University and Université de Montréal, Montreal, Canada July 5-9, 2002 It is the belief of the organizing committee that this Meeting will be the"occasion to identify the most exciting new discoveries in hematopoiesis research, as well as to recognize the progress made in the last thirty years in our field. It will also serve to acknowledge the vitality of the Society in providing a forum among stem cell biologists and other scientists whose fields intersect with experimental hematopoiesis and stem cell transplantation. The areas of focus of the Scientific Program include stem cell proliferation, malignant transformation and targeted therapy, signalling in normal and malignant cells, marrow and cord blood stem cell transplantation, and gene function discovery and transfection. |
