The program will consist of invited lectures, poster presentations, and informal discussions. The format of the lectures will be 30 minutes and 15 minutes for discussions. All speakers have been asked to introduce their topics in a general manner and then elaborate on their most recent data. Experience has shown that this format creates an atmosphere for open discussion and communication.
Any student or trainee (with their supervisor's approval) who will be presenting a poster will be given free room and board for the entire Symposium with payment of the registration fee (US $ 125.00 or US $ 100.00, if paid before March 1, 2008). Please indicate your interest in presenting a poster and forward the information to Dr. Falvo (rfalvo@med.unc.edu).
