Meetings of Interest

World Congress of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition

August 5 – 9, 2000
Hynes Convention Center
Boston, MA, USA

Click on the link above for detailed information.

The 3rd Alex Mowat International Paediatric Hepatology Update is to be held at The Weston Education Centre, King’s College Hospital, London, UK on the 5th April 2000. The theme is the long term prognosis for children with hepatological conditions. A programme is not far from being publicised.

The final session is for young investigators. If anyone is supervising or associated with a promising young researcher or clinician with research work of high quality I would be most grateful to learn of it and receive a brief abstract. An overview of work rather than a specific experiment is preferred. The meeting will be able to subsidise travel and accomodation for successful applicants and there will be a prize.

London in the Spring alone will be worth the trip, and we will select good accomodation and provide great hospitality. Please spread the word.

Best wishes to everyone.

Alastair Baker.
