14th Annual Life Sciences Symposium

The 14th annual Dartmouth Life Science Symposium: Truth or Consequences: The Immunology of Human Disease will be held in Spaulding Auditorium on Tuesday, Oct. 2, 2007. The symposium is open to the public, but advance registration is required.

Many chronic diseases are the result of an assault by the body’s own immune system on a specific organ, tissue, or the host. This year’s symposium will illuminate how an immune system that has gone astray contributes to diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer’s, atherosclerosis, cancer, bacterial infection, and multiple sclerosis.

Noted researchers from Dartmouth and around the world will discuss the most recent and exciting discoveries relevant to pathogenesis as related to a wide range of human diseases.

Admission is free and includes morning and afternoon refreshments, as well as lunch. The program concludes with a reception at the Hanover Inn. Visit the Website for more information and to register, or call 650-1619.
