IX INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON HORMONAL STEROIDS

本次会议涵盖了最新的和令人兴奋的发展， 类固醇激素研究的整个领域，包括基础和临床， 是唯一一个有这种覆盖范围的会议。 因此它 独特地汇集了在不同领域工作的个人， 调节类固醇激素的生物合成，类固醇激素的作用，和 维生素D代谢，在一个旨在优化交叉- 交流知识、思想和技术。 符合本 使命，主题将精选有关类固醇激素将 包括分子和细胞作用机制、基因结构 类固醇生成酶的调节，类固醇激素的先天性缺陷 生物合成和作用，类固醇在衰老中的作用，癌症， 神经生物学，免疫系统和高血压，类固醇结合 蛋白质、维生素D及其代谢物，以及 生育调节 大会计划将包括全体会议 讲座、研讨会、自由交流和教授见面会。 虽然会议的大部分内容将集中在最新的知识， 类固醇激素的细胞和分子生物学， 已采取措施确保介绍的临床相关性。

This conference covers the most recent and exciting developments in the entire field of steroid hormone research, both basic and clinical, and is the only meeting which has this umbrella coverage. As such, it uniquely brings together individuals working in such diverse areas as regulation of steroid hormone biosynthesis, steroid hormone action, and vitamin D metabolism, in an atmosphere designed to optimize cross- exchange of knowledge, ideas, and technologies. Consistent with this mission, the topics to be featured related to steroid hormones will include molecular and cellular mechanisms of action, gene structure and regulation of steroidogenic enzymes, inborn errors of steroid hormone biosynthesis and action, the role of steroids in aging, cancer, neurobiology, the immune system and hypertension, steroid binding proteins, vitamin D and its metabolites, as well as new developments in fertility regulation. The Congress program will include plenary lectures, symposia, free communications, and meet-the-professor sessions. Whereas much of the meeting will focus on the latest knowledge of the cellular and molecular biology of steroid hormones, the co-organizers have taken steps to ensure the clinical relevance of presentations.
