Open letter of Invitation
Dear Colleagues,
The World Health Organization/TDR and the Schistosoma Genome Network
Co-ordinator, Dr. Philip LoVerde, have requested me to organize the next
joint Filarial/Schistosome Genome Meeting. This meeting will be held in
Belo Horizonte, Brazil, from August 8-10. There are limited funds to
support some travel, room and board during the meeting. These funds are
primarily for participants from Disease Endemic Countries. Those who wish
to attend should contact me (http://www.cpqrr.fiocruz.br/dna/fsgnm/ or
oliveira at cpqrr.fiocruz.br) as soon as possible. As funds are limited, all
of the interested parties, especially those from developed countries, are
requested to possibly pay for their own travel costs. International flights
are available either directly to Belo Horizonte, or connections through Rio
de Janeiro or Sao Paulo. The meeting will start in the evening of the 8th
of August. On Saturday there will be separate meetings and both groups will
meet in joint session on Sunday morning. We expect to accommodate as many
applicants as possible and look forward to a very fruitful and exciting
meeting. Sincerely,
Guilherme Oliveira
