Minisymposium No 50 in the series Frontiers in Medicine
Lipid mobilzation has emerged as an important patophysiological process in several common diseases including diabetes, hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis. Recent technological advances have allowed a deeper understanding of the mechanisms involved. This symposium hosts a number of international and national scientists leading the progess in this field.
Please see programme for details.
Attendance is free, however, we kindly request participants to register in order to ensure coffee and lunch for attendees. Please register by e-mail to Lena Lindbergse before the 8th of May:
