The 11th ESGT Annual Congress will involve approximately 20 plenary lectures from leaders in the field, 12 parallel symposia, an educational course, corporate symposia, and as is the custom of ESGT, major oral and poster sessions to encourage participation and involvement of younger scientists. Topics to be covered include cancer, haematopoietic stem cells, vaccines, cardiovascular disease, infectious disease, CNS disorders, skeleto-muscular systems, regulatory issues, GMP vector production and standardisation, and advances in vector development. The speakers include Hermann Bujard, Marina Cavazzana-Calvo, Ron Crystal and Mark Kay. The one-day educational course on November 14th (organised by Zelig Eshhar) is an especially useful way for newcomers to the gene therapy field to get up to speed in their chosen specialty. The provisional programme and all other details, plus online registration, are available at http://www.esgt.org . *** The EARLY REGISTRATION DEADLINE is TODAY Wednesday September 3rd 2003. Take advantage NOW of the reduced registration fees. After this date, registration will be at full cost. See website for details.
