2nd Symposium of the NRS platform animal models in pulmonary research

The NRS Task Force animal models in pulmonary research organizes on 10 and 11 October 2012 its second symposium in Utrecht, (David de Wiedgebouw, room M2.10, Universiteitsweg 99, Uithof). Our aim is to optimize the use of experimental models in lung research and to stimulate and facilitate collaborations between research groups of academia and industry. During this second symposium experts in the field from academia and industry, and PhD students will present their exciting findings obtained from animal models of lung diseases such as pulmonary hypertension, asthma, lung emphysema, neonatal lung disease, sarcoidosis, virus-induced lung injury, etc. We invite all NRS members that are interested in this subject and that are for instance currently working or planning to work with animal models in experimental pulmonary or associated research.
