The PanAmerican Society for Pigment Cell Research is a scientific society devoted to those of us interested in various aspects of pigment cells. Our Society is a very interactive one, meeting on an annual basis, and is composed of clinicians, developmental biologists, biochemists, immunologists, cell biologists, molecular biologists, chemists and physicists, among other disciplines.
The next International meeting of our Society will take place as a joint meeting with our sister Societies from Japan and Europe and will be held in Anaheim in October, 1996; our next regional meeting will take place in Providence in June, 1997. We hope that you and/or your colleagues will be able to attend one or both of those meetings to discuss your work and interact with our members.
We also hope that you will consider joining our Society; for more information, contact Dr. James Nordlund, Secretary/Treasurer (phone: (513) 558-6242; FAX: (513) 558-0198; e-mail:nordlujj@uc.edu).
