III International Symposium on the New Prion Biology

[Prion Symposium]

III International Symposium on
THE NEW PRION BIOLOGY:
BASIC SCIENCE, DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY
2 - 4 APRIL 2009, VENEZIA (ITALY)
Dear Colleagues.

On behalf of the Scientific Committee, we wish to invite you to the  
III International Symposium on The New Prion Biology: Basic Science,  
Diagnosis and Therapy to be held in Venice, Italy, April 2-4, 2009.

The programme foresees lectures by leading scientists in different  
aspects of prion diseases, with a focus on the (patho-)physiology of  
the prion protein. Lectures on neurodegenerative diseases other than  
TSE are also foreseen, in order to allow a stimulating confrontation  
of the prion research with the most updated advances and perspectives  
in closely related fields. The Scientific Committee will select  
abstracts of posters for presentation during the meeting.  
Requirements for selection are originality and high scientific level.  
An added value will be the young age of the presenting Author. The  
meeting will be restricted to a total number of around 180  
participants to encourage in-depth discussions.

For all details, please refer to the web site:

We look forward to seeing you in Venice in Spring 2009, hoping to  
repeat the success of the previous Venice meetings.
