KinMet 2009

Satellite Symposium on Kinetics and Kinetic Modeling of Lipoprotein, Lipid, and Sterol Metabolism in Systems Ranging from Human Subjects to Cultured Cells
Tuesday, April 28, 2009
12 noon - 6 PM, Congressional Ballroom, Omni Shoreham Hotel, Washington, DC.

You are cordially invited to attend our 40th annual meeting. Registration is free and this is among the very few meetings each year at which experimental biomedicine and kinetic modeling are truly integrated. Again this year we are planning three sessions, a format that has worked beautifully for the last several years. To offer a talk for one of the three sessions, simply click on the name of the session chair in the program listing below and send us an e-mail. KinMet is an unofficial satellite symposium of the ATVB and vice versa.

There will be coffee and soft drinks continuously available for attendees at this meeting.

Note to speakers: Time and duration of talks are subject to change. Please check this page just before you depart for DC. Thanks!
