The 6th International Congress of Pathophysiology «Gene-environment interaction in health and disease» in collaboration with the 14th International SHR Symposium «Ecogenomic models of Cardiometabolic Diseases»
Septembre 22 to 25, 2010
Montréal, Canada
Welcome
Message from the President:
Following the 2006 meeting in Beijing we invite colleagues interested in the pathophysiology of diseases to join us for the 6th International Congress, which will be held in Montréal, Canada from September 22 to 25, 2010, under the banner “Gene-environment interaction in health and disease ”. The Congress program will reflect current trends in the evolution of pathophysiology and biological science in general, while further enlarging the scope of our meeting to cover progress from Genomics to Systems Biology, integrating both our genetic make-up and environmental exposures resulting in shared and distinct pathophysiological pathways. We also plan to present novel therapeutic targets based on this new knowledge, future tools in prevention and optimized therapy based on predictive genomics.
The new Congress dates, in September 2010, allow us to capitalize on our partnership with the 14th International SHR Symposium. Entitled “Ecogenomic models of Cardiometabolic Diseases ”. Organized by researchers in the field of cardiovascular genetics, this is a Satellite Symposium to the 23rd scientific meeting of the International Society of Hypertension to be held in Vancouver the following week
This joint event of the ISP and SHR will take place in Montréal, a highly cultivated North American city with a pleasant dose of French flavor and much to offer both scientifically and culturally.
We look forward to seeing you in our dynamic city for an intensive and fruitful scientific exchange and a pleasant stay.
Welcome to Montréal, Bienvenue à Montréal.
Pavel Hamet, OQ, M.D., Ph.D.
President of the
6th International Congress
of Pathophysiology
and
of the 14th International SHR Symposium
