First Announcement: ETRS Thirteenth Annual
Meeting
Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 21-23 September 2003
The Annual Meeting of the ETRS has become a spearhead
for many clinical and basic scientists in the field of wound healing.
Since the foundation of the Society in 1988, the average attendance has
increased steadily. Also the joint meetings with the Wound Healing Society
have been very successful.
The 2003 meeting will be held from 21-23 September in 'De Meervaart' in
Amsterdam. Next to an attractive programme with lectures by key specialists
in wound repair, there will be ample opportunity for young scientists
to present their work to this international forum. The programme will
cover the following topics:
- Angiogenesis in chronic wounds
- Burns
- Clinical aspects: quantitative measurements in repair
- Collagen metabolism
- Control of inflammation and infection
- Diabetic wound healing
- Gene therapy
- Laser therapy
- Modern drug delivery systems
- New developments in tissue and organ substitutes
- Non-surgical debridement
- Stem cell therapy
- Teaching/review sessions
- Wound management using allograft skin
I hardly need to introduce Amsterdam to you: the many
historic sites, the nice atmosphere of the inner city with the canals,
specialised shops and art museums are known to many of you. Please contact
us by e-mail to receive detailed information and call for abstracts!
I welcome you most heartily to Amsterdam in September 2003.
Esther Middelkoop
