ScanBalt Forum 2008

A major scientific event in the ScanBalt Forum is a plenary symposium in Neuroscience and Metabolic Disorders. This unique meeting has world leading scientists, including two Nobel Laureates, Arvid Carlsson and Peter Agre and a presentation of the latest findings in molecular biology.

This symposium will discuss new hypothesis and findings about synaptic functions and brain water balance. The metabolic Syndrome will be discussed in light of new findings in molecular biology, and the importance of conditions in pregnacy and early life for later development of metabolic disorders (Obesity, diabetes and heart disease) will be disussed.

The Biomedical Symposium will be held at Rikshospitalet. See map
