Acta Physiologica International Symposium:
10 Years of Hypocretins/Orexins -physiology and pathophysiology Time: 13.-14.8.2008 Venue: Kastelli Research Centre (address Aapistie
1, Sponsor Scandinavian Physiological Society/Acta
Physiologica Scandinavica Jubileumsfond We are proud to announce that an Acta
Physiologica International Symposium will be arranged immediately preceding
the SPS 2008 Annual Meeting to celebrate the 10th Anniversary since the
discovery of orexins/hypocretins. The programme of the symposium "10
Years of Orexins/Hypocretins -Physiology and Pathophysiology" consists
of state-of-art lectures given by the leading scientists in the field of
orexins and their physiological actions, signaling and regulation mechanisms.
Registration and Hotels We recommend that you reserve your accommodation
for the Orexin-symposium at the same time that you reserve accommodation to
SPS 2008 Annual Meeting. The hotels recommended for the symposium and SPS
2008 annual meeting participants can be found from the following link. Hotels. Click here to register to Orexin symposium! Note! The Acta Orexin symposium is organized in conjunction, but separately to the SPS Annual Meeting 2008, and you therefore have to register separately to the Orexin symposium. The registration fee is 100 €, including material, coffees, lunches and get-together party. The registration deadline to the Orexin meeting is 15th July. |
