Welcome address
We are pleased to invite you to participate in
the 9th biennial scientific meeting of the
International Society for the Study of Fatty
Acids and Lipids
(ISSFAL), to be held May 29 - June 2nd, 2010, in Maastricht, the
Netherlands. The overall theme of this meeting is "LIPIDS
IN METABOLIC HEALTH AND DISEASE".
The upcoming meeting follows a tradition of
high-level conferences devoted to both fundamental and applied
research on the biological effects of fatty acids and lipid
metabolism in health and disease. The program is comprised of 14
introductory plenary lectures and 21 concurrent sessions
arranged in three distinct tracks, with a mixture of invited
speakers and oral presentations of submitted abstracts. We have
assembled an outstanding group of experts from around the world
to present the plenary lectures. In addition, we will have
poster sessions, an extensive New Investigator program and we
have scheduled ample opportunity for formal and informal
scientific discussion.
The venue of the meeting is the
Maastricht Exhibition and Congress Center (MECC),
situated only 5 minutes (by car) from the historic city center.
Maastricht, the Netherlands, is located in the center of Europe
and can easily be reached from Amsterdam and Brussel. We will
gladly assist you in choosing your best travel and accomodation
option.
We look forward to welcoming you to ISSFAL 2010
Maastricht!
Yours sincerely,
Jan Glatz, Renate de Groot, Patrick Schrauwen,
