2009 ARVO International Society for Ocular Cell Biology

September 9-12, 2009

Ericeira, Portugal

The International Society for Ocular Cell Biology (ISOCB) has become part of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO). ARVO/ISOCB (http://www.arvo.org/isocb) is a forum for the exchange of ideas through a biennial international conference. This conference is for cell biologists working in all aspects of ocular health and disease as well as those using ocular cells as model systems. ARVO/ISOCB aims to encourage better integration between cell biologists working in eye research.

Scientific sessions will be topic-driven (rather than tissue-specific) and will include speakers primarily engaged in retina, lens, or cornea research who are addressing fundamental issues of cellular structure, function, and disease mechanisms that apply to all ocular tissues.

Visit the ARVO/ISOCB Web site (http://www.arvo.org/isocb) for more details.

Abstract submission will open April 22, 2009.

This meeting will take place in beautiful Ericeira, Portugal at the Vila Galé Ericeira Hotel (http://www.vilagale.pt/pages/hoteis/?hotel=10) on the western most tip of Europe, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean.
