Got this from another list, should hopefully be some interesting
findings in the future, maybe some updated info finally!
Dear Colleague,
On behalf of the organizing committee for the 8th International Feline
Retrovirus Research Symposium to be held in Washington DC October 8-11,
2006, I am pleased to invite you to and members of your group to submit
abstracts of your latest work. The conference promises to be an
innovative
and exciting blend of cat genomics, retroviral research and advances in
the
cat as a model of infectious disease.
Submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee and
assigned to platform or poster presentations (your preference would be
helpful) and the best of these would receive partial or full financial
support for attendance. A significant amount of the budget will be
allocated
for this, so we really would encourage abstract submission.
This is an exciting time for feline infectious disease research and also
feline genomics. The 2006 completion of the complete cat genome sequence
holds great promise for expanding the role of the cat as a model of
infectious disease. We anticipate a unique blend of talks at the
conference
and your participation would be a wonderful contribution.
Please visit the conference website at http://ifrrs8.ncifcrf.gov for
additional information, submission of abstracts, and registration.
Please
note the deadline for abstracts is July 15, 2006 and an early
registration
discount deadline is July 15, 2006. Please feel free to contact Dr Jill
Pecon-Slattery or Dr. Naoya Yuhki of the local organizing committee
with any
questions.
Best wishes

Laboratory of Genomic Diversity, National Cancer Institute-Frederick
