Also meeting in Perth that same week, from the 21st to 25th July is the International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences and the Society for Human Biology. This might be an excellent excuse to visit Australia. The address for both of us is- Department of Biochemical Genetics, The New England Children s Hospital P. O. Box 3515 Parramatta 2124 NSW Australia. Information on the journey to the symposium . Topics will include advances in human, medical and biochemical genetics over the past forty years, novel results in human morphogenesis, future perspectives for genetic medicine, and social implications of advances in human genetics.
Admission is free.
We hope that this international meeting will further promote research in this field in order to understand pathogenesis as well as to develop new therapeutic approaches to genetic diseases affecting the nervous system. Three lectures per session will be presented by invited speakers. The last hour of each session will be devoted to free communication by other participants at the Symposium. The afternoon session on the second day of the Symposium will be devoted to the presentation, by the author, of the paper awarded the Oasi International Prize for Brain Dysfunction Research. Deadline for the presentation of abstracts for free communications is July 15th, 1997.
