Registration Reminder: Molecular Genetics of Development
Although NICHD's conference on the Molecular Genetics
of Human Development is almost a half year away, organizers are
urging intramural researchers to send their registration forms
in early if they want to be ensured a place at the popular meeting.
That advice should not be taken lightly since NICHD's 1994 conference
on the same topic was oversubscribed. The registration deadline
for this year's conference, which is scheduled for May 1-4
at Airlie House in Airlie, Va., is Feb. 4. Requests will be filled
on a first-come, first-served basis. The cost for room and board,
based on double occupancy, is $420. In addition to an array of
developmental experts from NICHD,
this year's speakers include David Anderson of the California
Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Juan Botas of Baylor College
of Medicine in Houston, Linda Buck of Harvard Medical School in
Boston, Mario Capecchi of the University of Utah in Salt Lake
City, Victor Corces of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore,
Eddy De Robertis of UCLA School of Medicine in Los Angeles, Peter
Gruss of the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in
Gottingen, Germany, Marnie Halpern of the Carnegie Institute in
Baltimore, Matthias Hammerschmidt of Harvard University in Cambridge,
Mass., Alexandra Joyner of NYU Medical Center in New York, Chris
Kintner of the Salk Institute in San Diego, Ruth Lehman of the
Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, Mass.,
Robin Lovell-Badge of the Medical Research Council in London,
Randal Moon of the University of Washington in Seattle, Don Riddle
of the University of Missouri in Columbia, and Janet Rossant of
the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute in Toronto. For more information,
